Al Tai and Al Ittihad will face off in the MatchDay 19 of the Saudi Pro League.
While Al-Khaleej is expected to find the net against Al-Ahli Saudi, it’s doubtful that they will score as many goals as they might concede.
Al-Tai will be seeking an improved outcome in their upcoming fixture, aiming to bounce back from a 3-0 loss in the Professional League against Damac.
In that encounter, Al-Tai maintained 53% possession and attempted 7 shots at goal, with 2 on target. Damac, on the other hand, made 25 goal attempts, with 9 finding the target.
It has become a rare occurrence in recent matches for Al-Tai to keep a clean sheet for the full 90 minutes. A cause for concern is their defensive record, as they have conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 matches, allowing a total of 12 goals during this period.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 0, Lost: 3, Scored: 6, Conceded: 9, Clean Sheets: 1.
After a defeat in their recent Professional League match against Al-Raed, Al-Ittihad and their dedicated supporters on the road are optimistic about securing a better outcome in the upcoming fixture.
In the previous game, Al-Ittihad maintained a 61% possession and made 9 attempts on goal, with 3 hitting the target. Meanwhile, Al-Raed recorded 16 goal attempts, with 7 on target.
Al-Ittihad has shown prowess in attack leading up to this match, scoring 12 goals in their last 6 outings. However, defensive vulnerabilities have been apparent as they conceded goals in 5 of those matches.
With a fully fit squad at his disposal, the Al-Ittihad manager faces no fitness concerns ahead of this match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 0, Lost: 3, Scored: 8, Conceded: 10, Clean Sheets: 1.
The match will be played at the Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa’ed Stadium.
