Al-Wehda FC vs Al-Ittihad FC Prediction: Ittihad will get a third consecutive league win

Al-Ittihad will be aiming for a third consecutive league victory as they prepare to take on Al-Wehda at the King Abdul Aziz Stadium on Saturday. Al-Ittihad climbed to the top of the league table after their 1-2 victory over Al-Taawoun last week as Damac held Hilal to a 2-2 draw. Al-Wehda on the other hand have had a very bad season as they continue to struggle in the relegation zone. Wehda is no match for Ittihad, and there are no two ways about this game—it’s a sure victory for Ittihad. We back Al-Ittihad to win this game as usual. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.

Al-Wehda FC (17th)

Form in the League: LLDLL

Al-Wehda continues to languish at the bottom of the league table and they are about to be put deeper in their dilemma as they take on the sensational Al-Ittihad who would stop at nothing to see them go down on Saturday. Wehda is no match for the current league leaders and they’ll suffer a heavy defeat on their home turf on Saturday. They are currently 17th placed in the league with 3 wins, 4 draws, and 12 losses from the 19 league games they’ve played.

Al-Ittihad FC (2nd)

Form in the League: WWLWW

Karim Benzema rose to the occasion in Al-Ittihad’s last-minute winner against Al-Taawon in their most recent league game. Al-Ittihad got the first goal of the game in the 21st minute but it wasn’t long before Taawoun pulled one back through Musa Barrow in the dead of the second half. Karim Benzema finally got them through and secured all three points for his team with a goal in the 95th minute. Al-Ittihad will be hoping to extend their winning streak and add to their list of vanquished teams as they take on Wehda on Saturday. Karim Benzema is in the form of his life and he has scored 14 goals for Al-Ittihad already this season and is the team's current top scorer. 

Al-Ittihad is currently top of the league table with 16 wins, a draw, and 2 losses from the 19 league games they’ve played this season. Karim Benzema leads their scoring efforts with 14 league goals.
