Al-Ittihad's Home Fortress: Can Ettifaq Conquer King Abdullah?

Al-Ittihad prepares to host Al-Ettifaq in a crucial Saudi Pro League clash on Friday, aiming to build on their current seven-game unbeaten run across all competitions. The defending champions have found strong form at home, winning their last five matches and maintaining clean sheets in their most recent three.

Despite their strong home record, Al-Ittihad sits sixth in the league, 11 points behind leaders Al-Hilal. The visiting Al-Ettifaq, currently eighth, seeks to improve their away form, having not lost in their last three league fixtures on the road. They will also be looking to reverse the outcome of their last visit to King Abdullah Sports City, where they suffered a 3-2 loss.

With key players like Fabinho suspended for Al-Ittihad and injuries affecting both squads, the match promises tactical adjustments. Al-Ittihad is favored to continue their winning ways, with predictions suggesting a narrow 2-1 victory over Al-Ettifaq.
