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

Al Khaleej held Al Nassr to a 1-1 draw in the Saudi Pro League, with Abdullah Al-Hamdan's 72nd-minute equaliser cancelling out Omar Mascarell's first-half header in a match Al Khaleej dominated on the ball but failed to convert.

Al Hilal were ruthless in Riyadh, scoring four times before half-time to put Al Khaleej to the sword in a 5-1 Saudi Pro League hammering. Milinkovic-Savic, Summerville, and Theo Hernández were among the scorers in a first half that left the hosts with nowhere to hide.

Al Ittihad made it four wins from their last five Saudi Pro League matches with a 2-1 home victory over Al-Fayha, George Ilenikhena heading them in front before Youssef En-Nesyri converted from the spot after the visitors had briefly levelled.

Al Fateh dominated Al Ittihad in every measurable way but could not find a winner in a goalless Saudi Pro League draw, hitting the woodwork three times and missing four big chances in a performance that will haunt their players for days.

Al Khaleej ground out a goalless draw with Al Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League, but the numbers tell a story of two sides who cannot finish and one side that simply cannot score. Neither kept a clean sheet with any conviction. They just ran out of ideas at the same time.

George Ilenikhena scored twice in the first half to hand Al Ittihad a 2-1 victory over Al Nassr, a result that defied the run of play and left the visitors with plenty to answer for despite dominating large spells of the match.

Al Ittihad arrive at Friday's Saudi Pro League clash in commanding form while Al Shabab limp in without a win in five. Connor Maguire breaks down why the gap between these two sides is bigger than it looks.
