Al Ittihad host Al Shabab at King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah on Friday, Oct 16 at 8:00 PM in the Saudi Professional League.
Al Ittihad come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Al Shabab travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Al Ittihad here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Al Shabab, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Al Ittihad won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Al Ittihad look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Al Shabab will make it uncomfortable. Al Ittihad to win.
