Al Najma desperately need points today at 8:00 PM in the Saudi Professional League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Al Ettifaq come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Al Najma travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Al Ettifaq and Al Najma have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–0W). Their last encounter ended in Al Najma won 3–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 7.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Al Ettifaq a slight edge, but Al Najma are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
