Al Akhdoud vs. Al-Ittihad (September 14th) Saudi Pro League Match Prediction
Al Akhdoud and Al-Ittihad will go one-on-one in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday at 15:00 GMT as domestic action returns after the international break.
Key Highlights
Al Akhdoud showed signs of turning their form around right before the international break when they won away to Al-Riyadh 0-1. A 55th-minute strike by Leandre Tawamba was enough to settle the match and hand the visitors all three points.
The win at Al Riyadh followed a four-match winless start to the season, including three consecutive losses after the opening-day draw. Al Akhdoud will look to maintain their trajectory of form when they host fancied Al-Ittihad on Thursday.
Al-Ittihad’s 100% start to the season, comprising four consecutive wins, ended when they were beaten at home to Al-Hilal 3-4.
Al-Ittihad went into the break leading 3-1 after goals from Romarinho, Karim Benzema, and Abderrazak Hamdallah, with Al-Hilal’s only goal coming from Aleksandar Mitrovic. However, Mitrovic completed his hattrick in the second half, and Salem Aldawsari saw the visitors turn the game on its head and grab a psychologically booting win.
Al-Ittihad will look to bounce back to winning ways immediately when they travel to Al Akhdoud on Thursday.
