AL ETTIFAQ VS AL RAED PREDICTION
Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq began the season with three successive victories and appeared much-improved on last season in what is his second campaign. However, they have taken just one point from their last two matches against Al Nassr and Al Taawon, albeit those being tough matches. They now face an Al Raed side that come into this one on the back of back-to-back defeats and Al Ettifaq, especially with their home advantage, are the firm favourites for this one.
