Al-Ittihad has some current player fitness concerns. Steven Bergwijn (Ankle injury), Predrag Rajković (unknown injury) and Mario Mitaj (Adductor pain) are not able to play.
🔮
Prediction
We feel that in this game, Al-Ittihad will probably have the majority of the possession and should turn some of their chances into goals.
Conversely, Al-Fateh might well find it difficult to break down their defence although we reckon that they could well end up being dangerous at times, too.
We reckon that it will be a controlled 1-3 margin for Al-Ittihad at full-time.
