Al-Ettifaq
In their recent match, Al-Ettifaq secured a 2-1 victory against Al-Fateh. This win extended their unbeaten run to three matches in the Saudi Pro League (2 wins, 1 draw). Al-Ettifaq has shown solid defensive performances, conceding only two goals in their last three games. Currently, they sit in the mid-table, but a win here could boost their position significantly.
Midfielder Ahmed Al-Ghamdi is suspended for this game.
- The team has won 3 of their last 5 home matches in the Saudi Pro League.
- Al-Ettifaq has scored at least two goals in 4 of their last 6 home games.
- The number "2" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 3 of Al-Ettifaq's last 5 home matches in the league.
Al-Khaleej
Al-Khaleej suffered a 0-3 defeat away to Al-Hilal in their last outing. This loss marked their third consecutive defeat in the Saudi Pro League. The team has struggled defensively, conceding nine goals in their last three matches. Al-Khaleej is currently battling at the bottom of the table and desperately needs points to avoid relegation.
- The team has not won in their last 5 away matches in the Saudi Pro League (2 draws, 3 losses).
- Al-Khaleej has failed to score in 3 of their last 5 away games.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 4 of Al-Khaleej's last 6 away matches in the league.
Al-Ettifaq vs. Al-Khaleej: Match Prediction
Al-Ettifaq has been in better form recently and has the home advantage, where they have been strong. Al-Khaleej, on the other hand, has struggled both offensively and defensively in recent matches. Considering these factors, I expect Al-Ettifaq to come out on top in this encounter.
My prediction: Al-Ettifaq to win
