Al Faisaly vs Al Ittihad prediction, odds and how to watch

Al Ittihad came from behind twice to beat Al Hazm 3-2, with their penalty taker converting two spot kicks in the second half to secure three points despite a disorganised defensive performance that will concern the coaching staff.

Al Ittihad scored on the stroke of half-time and then held firm with ten men for the entire second half to claim a remarkable 1-0 victory at Al-Qadsiah, despite being outshot 26 to 5 and generating almost nothing in open play.

Al Ittihad led through a first-half header only to concede an equaliser from a corner seven minutes into the second half, and a VAR-issued red card at 55 minutes left them defending with ten men for the final half-hour. The draw continues a concerning pattern at home for Ittihad.

Al Hilal welcome Al Ittihad to Riyadh on Thursday having kept clean sheets in four of their last five home games, while the visitors arrive with a defensive record that has conceded in seven of their last ten. Something has to give.

Al Faisaly head into matchday three without a point and with six goals conceded already. Al Ittihad arrive carrying an injury list but enough firepower to make this a very uncomfortable evening for the hosts.

Al Ittihad host Al-Fayha on Tuesday evening carrying significant injury concerns and a wobbling home record, while their visitors arrive having failed to keep a single clean sheet on the road all season.

Al Nassr arrive at Al Ittihad on Saturday in the form of a team that simply knows how to win away from home. Al Ittihad have not kept a clean sheet in their last five matches and the numbers suggest that is not about to change.

Al Fateh host Al Ittihad on Saturday evening carrying the wounds of a 3-0 opening day defeat, and the underlying data suggests their problems run considerably deeper than one bad result.
