Al-Khaleej vs Al-Ittihad Prediction: Al-Ittihad should get right back to winning ways

Al-Khaleej vs Al-Ittihad: Prediction and odds on the Match on 01 November 2025

Al-Ittihad will travel to Al-Khaleej club stadium as they prepare to take on the current Saudi Pro League champions in round 7 of the Saudi Pro League. Khaleej remains a mid-table team struggling against all odds to climb to the top 4 in the Saudi Pro League this season. 

Al-Ittihad, on the other hand, fresh off a 0-2 defeat against arch-rivals Al-Hilal, will be looking to shake off their bad start to the new season. Al-Ittihad have not lost to Al-Khaleej in their last 13 meetings, and we do not expect any surprises at the Al-Khaleej Club Stadium on Saturday. As always, we envisage a win or draw for the visitors, and we also expect Al-Khaleej to push back and even get a goal. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion! Several betting options are available.

Al-Khaleej: form and statistics

Form in all competitions: DWLLW

Khaleej are currently above the current Saudi Pro League champions in the Saudi Pro League, and they will hope it remains so as they head into this high-stakes encounter. Khaleej is impressive and has not lost in their last two league games. Their most recent league game was against Neom SC, and Khaleej struggled against newly promoted Neom SC. Amri found the net for Khaleej in the 16th minute, before Rodriquez equalized for Neom SC in the 34th. Khaleej has an overall league statistics of 3 wins, a draw, and 2 defeats from a total of 6 games played in the league. Khaleej has not won a game against Al-Ittihad in their last 13 meetings, and we are excited to see if history will be kind to them this Saturday.

Al-Khaleej: Possible Lineup

Christophe is aiming to uphold his two-game unbeaten run as they go head-to-head against a top team like Al-Ittihad. He will maintain his standard (4-4-2) formation with Joshua King leading the attack.

Player to watch out for: Joshua King

Joshua King is the team's top scorer with a total of 7 league goals scored for Al-Khaleej in the league this season.  

🔖 Al-Khaleej Probable starting lineup (4-4-2)

Moris – Pedro Robocho, Al-Khabrani, Schenkeveld, Saeed Al-Hamsal – Saleh Al-Amri, Al-Hawsawi, Dimitrios Koubelis, Giorgos Masouras – Fortounis, Joshua King

👤 Head coach: Christophe Galtier 

Al-Ittihad: form and statistics

Form in all competitions: LDLWW

The Yellow Tigers come into this clash without a win in their last three league outings. Their most recent match against arch-rivals ended in a 0-2 defeat, with Al-Ittihad getting totally overpowered in that game. This is another opportunity for Al-Ittihad to put their inconsistencies in their last three league games behind them and strive for a win. New manager Sergio Conceicao is yet to win a league since his emergence as manager of the Jeddah-based club. 

The leadership of the Jeddah-based club has appointed Sergio Conceicao as the new head coach on a four-year deal after the dismissal of Laurent Blanc, who led them to a Roshn Saudi victory last season. The former AC Milan manager is now in charge of the Jeddah-based team. He drew his first league game, but won his first AFC Champions League game, which was against Al-Shorta (4-1). He also defeated arch-rivals Al-Nassr last week in the Saudi King's Cup. 

The Yellow Tigers have now slipped to eighth place in the league after their defeat to Al-Hilal, and Sergio has a lot of work to do if he intends to take Al-Ittihad to the promised land. They’ve collected 10 points from six games played. In the AFC Champions League, Al-Ittihad have won only one game from the three games played, with two losses, and they are currently 7th placed in the AFC Champions League table.

Al-Ittihad: Possible Lineup

The leadership of the Jeddah-based club has appointed Sergio Conceicao as the new head coach on a four-year deal after the dismissal of Laurent Blanc, who led them to a Roshn Saudi victory last season. The former AC Milan manager will now take charge of the Jeddah-based team and try to reignite their title defence. 

Sergio Conceivao is still searching for his first league victory as Al-Ittihad manager. His first game in charge of Al-Ittihad was a good one, but he failed to produce the desired result as the game ended in a draw. A bit of good news for the team is their recent triumph against Al-Nassr. 

Player to watch out for: Karim Benzema 

Former Real Madrid forward is the star of this team; his leadership was instrumental in Al-Ittihad’s title triumph last season, and he has also scored a total of three goals for Al-Ittihad already this season.

🔖 Al-Ittihad starting lineup (4-3-3)

Pedrag RaJkovic – Danilo Pereira, Kadesh, Al-Mousa, Al-Julaydan – N’golo Kante, Fabinho, Al-Ghamdi – Moussa Diaby, Bergwijn, Karim Benzema

👤 Head coach: Sergio Conceicao
