AL HILAL VS AL ITTIHAD PREDICTION
We have two giants of Saudi Arabian football facing off against each other and the two sides are the only teams to have started the season with three successive victories apiece. Al Hilal have scored nine goals and conceded two with an even spread, whilst seven of Al Ittihad’s ten goals came last weekend when they annihilated Al Wehda by seven goals to one with Karim Benzema notching a hat-trick. Both sides appear free scoring and strong again this season so we should have quite a fun clash for the neutral.
