Al-Ettifaq
LDDWLW ⚖
Al-Ettifaq will go into this match after a 2-1 Professional League win against Al-Khaleej in their previous fixture.
In that game, Al-Ettifaq had 52% possession and 19 attempts on goal with 8 on target. The only player to score for Al-Ettifaq was Georginio Wijnaldum (15', 54'). Al-Khaleej got 12 shots at goal with 6 of them on target.
The stats tell the story, and Al-Ettifaq have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 8 goals overall. In defence, Al-Ettifaq have been far from perfect. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend can be sustained in this game.

Team News: Al-Ettifaq
Al-Ettifaq has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Abdulelah Al-Malki (Cruciate ligament tear) and Moussa Dembélé (Achilles tendon rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
🔮
Prediction
Al-Ettifaq and Al-Kholood could well cancel each other out, with goals at a real premium.
We’ll see, but this could easily end up all-square. We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought 0-0 scoreline by the conclusion of this game.
