Neom vs Al Ittihad prediction
Neom, following that aforementioned promotion, brought in some recognisable names in the summer such as Abdoulaye Doucoure and Alexandre Lacazette, sit tucked inside the top-half of the table after ten matches. The hosts returned from the break with a 2-1 defeat of winless and fellow newly-promoted Al Najma.
They now face an Al Ittihad side that, under the management of former FC Porto boss Sergio Conceicao, have put in a poor defence of the title thus far. The Jeddah-based outfit did manage a comfortable 2-0 victory over Al Shabab at the weekend to push them back into the top-half of the table.
Al Ittihad need to find some consistency and they are the favourites against Neom bit it is unlikely to be a straightforward victory and should be a fun watch for the neutral.
