Al-Ittifaq
Al-Ittifaq has shown inconsistent form throughout the season, struggling to maintain momentum in their performances. The team has been solid at home, managing to secure points in crucial matches against top-tier opponents. However, defensive lapses have often cost them dearly, and they need to tighten up at the back to improve their standing in the league.

- The team has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last six home games in this tournament.
- The number "1" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 5 of Al-Ittifaq's last 7 home matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Ittihad
Al-Ittihad has been one of the standout teams this season, consistently delivering strong performances both at home and away. Their attacking prowess has been a key factor in their success, with the team frequently finding the back of the net. However, their away form has seen some fluctuations, and they will be keen to address this to maintain their title challenge.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last four away matches in the Saudi Pro League (1 draw, 3 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Al-Ittihad's last 7 away games in this tournament.

Al-Ittifaq vs. Al-Ittihad: Match Prediction
Both teams have shown contrasting fortunes this season, with Al-Ittifaq struggling for consistency while Al-Ittihad has been more dominant. Given Al-Ittifaq's resilience at home and Al-Ittihad's occasional away struggles, this could be a closely contested match. Al-Ittifaq will likely adopt a defensive approach, aiming to stifle Al-Ittihad's attack. Al-Ittihad, on the other hand, will look to assert their attacking dominance.
Considering all factors, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
