In terms of squad, Al Ittihad should be able to win easily in this match, especially since they do not want to lose points so as not to be left behind by Al Hilal who are currently still firmly at the top of the standings and undefeated. Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, and Al Nassr have always been the favorites to win the title this season. They are required to win every match, so Al Ittihad will try hard in this match to get three points.
FYI, Al Ittihad only could win the match with 1 goal only.
Well. In fact, it wasn't an easy match for Al Ittihad. Although they play with more players beacuse Al Riyadh get a red card in minute 28', Al Ittihad only could score 1 goal. They have some opportunities to score more goals, sadly they have lack of accuracy. I think Al Ittihad needs to improve their training for shooting accuracy, it looks not really good in this match. If they are playing against a stronger team, Al Itithad may end up the match with 0 goal.
Sure, Al Ittihad doesn't want to lose any point because they want to maintain their position in the top 3. So far, Al Ittihad can join the race for the title very well. We have 3 familiar teams in the top of Saudi league (Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, Al Nassr). However, it looks quite hard to overtake Al Hilal because Al Hilal performed perfectly until now. Al Hilal is unbeaten, they are getting stronger.
