Al Okhdood vs Al Ettifaq Prediction
The home team come into this one on the back of a 4-0 hammering at the hands of defending champions and league leaders Al Hilal last weekend. That means Al Okhdood have suffered four defeats with one victory in their last five matches. In the first game of the post-Steven Gerrard era last weekend, Al Ettifaq defeated Al Shabab by three goals to one and there is likely to be a continued and, albeit short, new manager bounce. That would mean it would be a good value bet to side with the away team for this one.
Al Okhdood vs Al Ettifaq Tip: Double chance – Al Ettifaq to win or draw
