⭐ Editorial Prediction
Al-Ittihad are considered favourites, but the hosts are capable of making things difficult for them. A key factor could be Al-Ittifaq's attacking efficiency, which has not been particularly high so far. The team average around 1 goal per game, and they regularly struggle even more against their upcoming opponents. In nine of the last ten home meetings with Al-Ittihad, the hosts failed to score more than one goal. Taking into account the visitors' organised defending and the consistent pattern of this fixture, we are backing Al-Ittifaq Team Total - Under 1.5 Goals.
