Al Ettifaq vs Al Akhdoud: Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast

Steven Gerrard’s team secured a huge result in the last match over Al Ittihad

Al Ettifaq are currently in the sixth spot in the league. In their last match, they thrashed Al Ittihad 0-5 on their own ground. They have managed to find the right balance in the team under Steven Gerrard and will no doubt strive to extend that positive trend.

Al Akhdoud faces a severe challenge to perform in the next matches to save their season as they are at risk of being relegated. They are one point shy of the save zone and have to gain points in the remaining matches to stay in the league. In the last five matches, they have only won one, indicating their inconsistency.
