Preview: Al Ittihad vs Neom SC Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

The previous outing between these clubs ended in favour of the Tigers.

Al Ittihad are now going to have a face-off against Neom SC for their matchweek 28 contest of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. The Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium is going to witness this interesting outing.

The Tigers are coming in after securing a 1-0 win against Al Hazem in their last league outing. It was an important victory to secure three crucial points.

Sérgio Conceição’s men aren’t looking very confident at the moment. Their performance in the final third still feels weak. They must work on that.

With 13 wins in 27 games, Al Ittihad are in sixth place on the league table, and they will now be keen to extend their winning run. They will have an advantage at home.

Players to Watch

Youssef En-Nesyri (Al Ittihad)

Youssef En-Nesyri will be looking to step up his game so that he can put in a top performance to help his side in the final third.
