Al Riyadh vs Al Ittihad
I think this is a match that is quite difficult to predict at first glance maybe we will see Al Ittihad favored by bookies but Al Riyadh is also not a club that can be underestimated this season maybe he will give a surprise in the match especially since he has the advantage of playing as the home team but even though playing at home he has odds @6.00 while for Al Ittihad itself has odds @1.44.
It is very difficult to determine the prediction in this match but I think I will bet on Al Ittihad only because I think every point he gets is very important to continue in the title hunt with Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
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.
However, this match cannot be underestimated because Al Riyadh is in its best form and has won in its last two matches. Al Riyadh after being promoted to LPS has slowly started to improve, last season they managed to survive in LPS and this season they have started the season well, they are currently in fifth place in the standings, of course this is good progress. So even though Al Riyadh is a weak team, Al Ittihad should not underestimate this match because Al Riyadh could give a surprise in this match.
The match was won by Al Ittihad with a very narrow score of 1-0. The match was quite tough at first, but after one of Al Riyadh's defenders received a red card, Al Ittihad began to be able to control the match quite well. However, even though Al Riyadh played with 10 players, Al Ittihad still looked very difficult to score a goal against Al Riyadh. This is enough to prove that Al Riyadh's performance is indeed quite good at this time. Then in the extra time in the first half, Al Ittihad was finally able to break the deadlock through a goal scored by Kante. Maybe if in this match Al Riyadh played with a complete player, maybe this match could potentially end in a draw. The reason is that in this match Al Riyadh actually played quite well, but because they were outnumbered, they finally had difficulty developing their game. So with the results of this match, Al Ittihad is now in 2nd position in the SPL and Al Riyadh is in 5th position for the time being. Currently Al Ittihad has the same points as Al Hilal, the leader of the SPL standings, but Al Ittihad is still inferior in goal productivity. So that Al Hilal's position is not shifted at the top of the standings. Hopefully Al Ittihad can continue to be a strong competitor to become the champion in the SPL. Because I personally want to see a new champion in the SPL, because it feels a little boring if I continue to see Al Hilal dominating the SPL.
