Al Khaleej vs Al Ittihad Prediction
Al Khaleej come into this one on the back of a goalless draw with an improving Al Fayha side in their most recent outing the other day. The home team are now winless in four matches but they remain firmly in the middle-of-the-table. They now face an Al Ittihad side that, under the management of Laurent Blanc, extended their lead at the top-of-the-table to seven points ahead of this match day thanks to a come-from-behind 4-1 hammering of Al Hilal in the Saudi Clasico the other day. Another comfortable Al Ittihad victory would appear the likeliest outcome for this one.
