Ittihad was met with fierce resistance in their opening game against newly promoted Al-Kholood, but Houssem Aouar found the breakthrough for Ittihad at the last minute of the game, which gave Ittihad the well-deserved win. They also came back from a goal down to win their most recent league game against Al-Taawoun just before the international break. Taawoun got the lead in the 50th minute but Karim Benzema got an equalizer in the 70th minute before Houssem Aouar converted a penalty from the spot in the last minute of the game. They are currently 3rd place in the league table with two wins from two games.

Al-Wehda is also unbeaten in the current league season with a win and a draw from the two games they’ve played so far. Their opening game against Al-Riyadh was a cracker and it ultimately ended In a 3-3 draw with both teams taking a point each from the game. Odion Ighalo put his team ahead in the first minute of their second and most recent league game against Al-Orubah which ended in a 2-1 win. 

A critical look at their last 20 encounters produced 14 victories for Al-Ittihad, 4 wins for Al-Ahli, and 1 draw.
