AL ETTIFAQ VS AL QADSIAH PREDICTION
Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq began the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League season with three successive victories but the hosts are now winless in their last five matches with two draws and three defeats since that bright start. They face an ambitious Al Qadsiah side that embarked upon a big spending summer transfer window following their promotion and they defeated Damak last weekend before beating Al Wehda in the King Cup of Champions in midweek. Given the form of the two sides, a double chance bet in favour of the away team would appear good value for this one.
