Over the previous twenty meetings, Al Mokawloon have recorded five wins while Al Ittihad had five victories and ten games ending in a share of the spoils. Al Mokawloon haven’t lost at home this season but have played just one big game. At the same time, the visitors are yet to draw on the road in this campaign. Both sides have scored each other in five out of the last six matches, and we expect a goal apiece here for 2.10.

We are not sure this game will end in a share of the spoils; bet on anyone to win and over 1.5 goals for 2.30.

If we are to pick a winner, then it will definitely be the home side, which are sky high in confidence heading here; bet on a home win for 2.37.

Good luck!
