I have previously predicted that these two teams have the same strength in terms of players, so betting on Al-Ittihad is not a good option. Al-Ahli's victory was secured by the only goal scored by Franck Kessie in the 31st minute and the score remained until the match was over. Actually Al-Ittihad also had several opportunities but unfortunately the goal failed because it was disallowed by VAR or offside first. Al-Ahli is certainly happy to have beaten the defending Saudi League champions last season and now they are increasingly confident in continuing to compete at the top. Maybe if they can win a landslide like the previous few matches and can reduce the risk with a narrow win then they will have a bigger chance in the future to win the title.
Against Al-Wahda is not difficult for Al-Ahli and this will be an easy match for Al-Ahli so they will definitely get an additional 3 points later.
Well the win against Al-Ittihad have really helped them to move up in the table and even share same point with Al-Nassr who are in the 3rd place on the table, their next match is should be very easy for them and they might get an opportunity to reach 3rd place if Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr doesn't perform well.
