Al-Ittifaq vs Al-Ahli: Saudi Arabian Championship Match Prediction

Current form

Al-Ittifaq is a team that has strong players in its squad, but cannot yet claim high places in the Saudi Arabian championship. Last season, under the leadership of Steven Gerrard, they managed to take sixth place, but it will be difficult to repeat this result this year, because after 15 rounds played, the hosts are only in 11th place in the standings, which is only six points above the relegation zone. In the last match, they managed to beat Damak with a large score of 3:0. This triumph should give confidence, because the game was away, and the opponent was higher in the ranking.
