Al-Khaleej FC vs Al-Ittihad FC Prediction: Ittihad is now 7-points clear

Al-Ittihad will aim for a fifth consecutive league victory as they prepare to take on Al-Khaleej at the Al-Khaleej Club Stadium on Saturday. Al-Ittihad have now solidified their position at the top of the league as they defeated their closest rivals Al-Hilal last week and have moved 7 points clear of them. Khaleej on the other hand is struggling as they remain 10th placed in the league with only a win in their last 5 league games. Khaleej is no match for Ittihad, and there are no two ways about this game—it’s a sure victory for Ittihad. We back Al-Ittihad to win this game as usual. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.

Al-Khaleej FC (10th)

Form in the League: DLLDW

Al-Khaleej has only managed to secure a victory in their last five league games consisting of a win, 2 draws, and 2 losses from the 5 games played. Their most recent league game against Al-Feiha ended in a 0-0 draw and they’ll be hoping for a positive outcome as they take on Ittihad on Wednesday. They are currently 10th placed in the league with 8 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses from the 21 league games they’ve played. 

Al-Ittihad FC (1st)

Form in the League: WWWWL

It was an amazing night for Al-Ittihad as they brutalized Al-Ittihad in their last league game and strayed 7 points clear of Hilal in the league table. Hilal got the first goal of the game through Leonardo in the 23rd minute but Kadesh responded 6 minutes after and it continued to go from bad to worse for Hilal as the goals just kept going in, the game eventually ended in a 4-1 victory to Ittihad. Benzema also got his name on the scoresheet. 

Al-Ittihad will be hoping for a positive outcome as they take on Al-Khaleej on Tuesday. Karim Benzema is in the form of his life and he has scored 16 goals for Al-Ittihad already this season and is the team's current top scorer. 

Al-Ittihad is currently top of the league table with 18 wins, a draw, and 2 losses from the 21 league games they’ve played this season. Karim Benzema leads their scoring efforts with 16 league goals. 

Head-To-Head Statistics

Al-Ittihad has gotten the better of Al-Khaleej in their last 10 meetings with 7 wins and 3 draws, no victories for Khaleej. 

Expert Betting Tips

Al-Ittihad is in good form having won 18 games from the 21 league games they’ve played this season with only 2 defeats so far in the league. This is a must-win for Al-Ittihad as they must keep up the momentum and I am only bothered about how many goals Al-Ittihad will put past Khaleej on Wednesday. Ittihad must take all the chances that come their way to remain at the top of the league table and this is one of them. A win and a total of over 2.5 goals for Ittihad is our first prediction. 

Karim Benzema is in the form of his life having found the net in 7 of their last 9 league games and we believe he’ll find the net here. Please see some of their head-to-head streaks below;

• Khaleej has been without a clean sheet in their last 12 meetings.
• Both teams have found the net in 8 of their last 10 meetings.
