Command Analysis

Al Ittihad

Current form

The start of 2025 was not bad for Al-Ittihad, but it could have been better. An unexpected draw on January 11 in the match with Al-Feiha (1:1) did not allow the club to maintain the lead in the standings, and at the moment Laurent Blanc charges are in second place, losing first place to Al-Hilal on additional indicators. Benzema and company need to wait for the current champion to slip up and break ahead, and, of course, in no case should they lose points, and also try to win with as big a score as possible, because Al-Ittihad scored 11 goals less than Al-Hilal.

Disqualifications and injuries

Al-Amri, Kante, Al-Shehri will not take part in the match due to injuries.

Interesting trends for betting

Al-Ittihad have won all their home matches this season
The hosts have not lost in 15 games in a row

Probable line-up: Rajkovic - Al-Shanketi, Kadesh, Pereira, Mitai - Fabinho, Al-Nashri - Hawsawi, Aouar, Al-Oboud - Benzema.

Al Shabab

Current form

Al-Shabab are fighting to get into the top 5. The club is currently in sixth place in the league table, three points behind fifth place. On January 10, Fatih Terim protégés gave Al-Ahli a fight, but still failed to take points, losing 2:3. In the last round of the national championship, they managed to win a match on their home field with a minimal score (2:1) against Al-Riyadh. This triumph allowed them to break a winless streak in the national championship, which consisted of four games in a row. But it will be very difficult to earn any points in the upcoming match, and many analysts are inclined to believe that Al-Shabab will suffer another away fiasco.

1.60

In principle, at the moment, Al-Ittihad is given a decent coefficient for a clear victory. Considering the fact that this team has won all matches on its home field this season, and Al-Shabab in the last two games could not win against such opponents as Al-Ahli (2:3) and Al-Ahdud (1:1), it seems that the winning streak of Laurent Blanc team in front of local fans will not be interrupted.
