Al-Ittihad FC - Al-Hilal: betting tip

[WinJonny]

Two of the best teams in Saudi Arabia, the hosts placed second in the league the previous year while Al-Hilal won yet another championship here. Al-Hilal, however, has drawn twice in a row despite scoring a lot of goals recently. They drew 2-2 with Damac at home last time, and they drew 2-2 with Al-Nassr, a tough opponent, on the road. Prior to those two matches, they defeated Ettifaq 4-0 at home and Batin 3-1 at home in the King's Cup. However, they have since given up 5 goals in their most recent 3 league competitions, and I must make clear that Al-Ittihad is a strong team.

Betting pick: home win

This is a really tough clash between two of the heavyweights in Saudi Arabian football. All Hilal, who won the Asian Champions League 2 years ago, are strong but in a bad rut of form at the moment. I therefore predict Al-Ittihad to win the encounter, but it will be close, for sure
