Al-Ettifaq
In the last round, Al-Ettifaq struggled to find form, suffering a defeat that extended their winless streak in the Saudi Pro League. The team is keen to bounce back and improve their standings in the league.
- The team has not lost in regular time in 3 of their last 5 home matches in the Saudi Pro League (2 wins, 1 draw).
- Al-Ettifaq has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last four home games in this tournament.
- The number "1" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Al-Ettifaq's last 6 home matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Ahli
Al-Ahli, on the other hand, secured a convincing victory in their previous match, showcasing their attacking prowess. They aim to continue their winning momentum and climb higher in the league standings.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last three away matches in the Saudi Pro League (1 draw, 2 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of Al-Ahli's last 6 away games in this tournament.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 4 of Al-Ahli's last 6 away matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Ettifaq vs. Al-Ahli: Match Prediction
Al-Ettifaq has shown resilience at home, often managing to keep the scoreline tight. Their defensive approach could prove challenging for Al-Ahli, who will look to break through with their attacking capabilities. However, Al-Ahli's inconsistency in away games could be a factor in this encounter.
Considering all factors, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
