The pivotal match of the 22nd round of the Saudi Arabian Championship will take place on Friday at the "Kingdom Arena," where the local Al-Hilal will host Al-Ittihad. Here's our prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Al-Hilal
Under the stewardship of Jorge Jesus, the team is having a stellar season, rightfully establishing a substantial lead in the Saudi Arabian Championship. In the 21 matches played, "The Leaders" have only stumbled twice, drawing with Damac away (1-1) and Al-Fayha at home (1-1). There is little doubt that one of the tickets to the Asian Champions League will find its way into Al-Hilal's pocket. Leading Al-Taawoun, who occupies fourth place, by 21 points, "The Leaders" are in a commanding position. In their last match over the weekend, Al-Hilal faced Al-Ettifaq away and secured a comfortable 2-0 victory, with both goals coming in the first half. It's worth noting that "The Leaders" convincingly defeated Sepahan in the Champions League with an aggregate score of 6-2 over two legs.
Al-Ittihad
Under Marcelo Gallardo's management, the team also had no issues in the first round of the AFC Champions League, securing victory over Navbahor on aggregate. However, in the Saudi Arabian Championship, Al-Ittihad dropped too many points last autumn, leading to a decline from first place to sixth. Fortunately, after the break, "The Tigers" have been displaying powerful performances, which have helped improve their position in the standings. Last weekend, Al-Ittihad hosted Al-Wahda in the Saudi Arabian Championship. The match ended in a 2-1 victory for "The Tigers," extending their unbeaten streak in all competitions to six matches (five wins and one draw). Currently, Al-Ittihad occupies fifth place in the league table, accumulating 37 points from 21 matches.
