Al Adalh vs Al-Ittihad FC Prediction: A tough contest ahead

The 2021/2022 Saudi Professional League runner up, Al-Ittihad FC will travel to the Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium on Friday, 26th of August to play against Al Adalh. The home team will be confident of getting a surprising home win against the visiting side as they look forward to the new season. However, the away team will be focused on winning this season’s Pro League after falling two points below Al Hilal last season.

In their last five overall matches in all competitions, home team Al Adalh have played 3 draws and 2 wins. Those three draws ended all in nil nil. Also, the two wins have ended in a 2-1, 2-1. Last season, the home team finished 2nd last season with joint points with Al Khaleej. However, this match will be a difficult one as their opponent, Al-Ittihad is strong and more good than them. Despite this, we still expect a big performance from the newly promoted team. 

Last season, Al-Ittihad FC finished second in the professional league with just two points below the winner Al Hilal. Despite their huge performances last season, they could not clinch the league but however, they will be more determined than before to win the Pro League this season. They definitely know it will not be an easy one, so we expect them to do well and score early to get a reassuring win against the home side. In their last five matches, the visiting team has won just one match, two draws and two loses. Against Al Hilal in one of their losses in May 23 this year, Al-Ittihad FC fell behind Al Hilal at home after scoring the first goal in the match. However, with Al Adalh being an easy opponent for them, we hope they can start their season with a win.

These two teams have only met twice. In those two meetings, there was a win for Al-Ittidah FC and a draw. However, the home side is a newly promoted team, so we do not expect them to pose too much challenge for the visiting Al-Ittidah FC.
