Al Ittihad vs Al Orubah Prediction
Al Ittihad have been unconvincing of late with four draws in their last five matches, needing late goals quite often. They came from 2-1 down to defeat Al Shabab by three goals to two in the semi-finals of the King’s Cup of Champions last week courtesy of a second-half stoppage-time brace scored by Danilo Pereira. They most recently scored a 94th minute equaliser in the derby against Al Ahli last weekend to share a 2-2 draw as they remain at the top-of-the-table. They now face an Al Orubah side that have shown signs of improvement in the last couple of months but their 1-0 loss to Al Okhdood was their third successive defeat in the Saudi Pro League so a comfortable home win is to be expected for this one.
