Al Qadsiah vs Al Ettifaq Prediction

Al Qadsiah pulled off yet another late goal in midweek as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a 92nd minute winner against bottom-of-the-table Al Raed in the semi-finals of the Saudi King’s Cup of Champions. They remain tucked inside the top four of the Pro League ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures, too. They now face an Al Ettifaq side that have been much-improved since the departure of Steven Gerrard but they did most recently suffer a 2-0 loss at home to Al Fayha a few weeks ago. Al Qadsiah, especially with their home advantage, are the firm favourites for this one.
