Al Raed vs Al Ettifaq Prediction
Al Raed come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat at home to Al Shabab in their most recent outing, the other day. The home team have managed just one victory in their last 12 matches in the Saudi Pro League as they have collapsed into the bottom three. They face an Al Ettifaq side that, following the sacking of Steven Gerrard, have enjoyed four victories in their last five matches, most recently defeating Al Taawon by a goal to nil after a surprising 3-2 win over Al Nassr. Al Ettifaq, given the form of the two sides, would have to be clear favourites to continue their impressive run in Riyadh.
