Only two rounds left until the end of the competition in Saudi Arabia, and Al-Ettifaq is in 12th place, but the separation from the relegation zone is only one point. So they should not lose now, especially the last home game of this season. Now Al-Ettifaq is in good form, but their defensive play leaves much to be desired - 44 goals conceded (only Al-Taawon concedes more).
Al-Ittihad leads the standings, but the team has declined, collecting only one point in the last three matches, while conceding eight goals. The latest results on the road are not encouraging either.
Both teams crucially need points today. The guests are nominally favorites, especially with such defensive play of Al-Ettifaq, Al-Ittihad is likely to score at least 1-2 goals. But we do not think the hosts will leave without a goal since Al-Ittihad concedes now more often than usual.
Our prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the “Over 2.5” bet, odds 2.13
