Al-Ittihad Aims for Fifth Straight Win in Saudi League
9 Jan
Summary
- Al-Ittihad seeks a fifth consecutive victory in the league.
- Al Kholood has a defensively fragile record despite recent win.
- Ramiro Enrique is Al Kholood's leading scorer with seven goals.
Al-Ittihad is set to pursue their fifth consecutive victory in the Saudi Pro League this Friday, January 9th, 2026. Facing Al Kholood on Matchday 14, Al-Ittihad currently holds sixth place in the standings with 23 points.
Al Kholood, who are 12th with 12 points, enters the match following a significant 5-0 win. However, their defensive performance remains a notable vulnerability. Last season's champions, Al-Ittihad, appear to have found their rhythm under coach Sergio Conceicao.
Despite missing Houssem Aouar, Al-Ittihad's stability is evident. Al Kholood will rely on Ramiro Enrique, their top scorer with seven league goals, to challenge the visitors at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.
