Editorial Prediction
Al-Ittihad step onto the pitch as clear favorites, and it's easy to see why: the reigning champions are significantly superior in terms of quality. The hosts have only recently been promoted from the second division and are still acclimatizing to the Pro League level. Adding to the picture is the visitors' impressive run-they've secured eight consecutive league victories, including the end of last season. In this context, betting on an Al-Ittihad victory appears to be the most reasonable choice.
