⭐ Editor's Prediction
Al-Ittifaq look the more likely side based on their more convincing results in recent weeks. The visitors have been consistent and are particularly effective away from home, where they have gone seven matches in a row without defeat. That lengthy run demonstrates the team's ability to get positive results even in difficult conditions. Al-Kholood, by contrast, have struggled for consistency and do not always make the most of home advantage. The editor's main prediction is Al-Ittifaq not to lose.
