Al Qadsiah vs Al Ittihad Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Karim Benzema and Co. are winless in their last two league games.

Al Qadsiah are all set to host Al Ittihad in match week 24 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 fixture. The hosts are in the third spot and will be looking to jump up to the second spot. Al Qadsiah have won 16 of their 23 league games so far. Karim Benzema and Co. are the table toppers having won 18 matches in the same number of games.

Al Qadsiah have been the best defensive team, conceding the fewest goals compared to the other teams in the Saudi Pro League this season. Although they don’t have the best attack, Al Qadsiah are in a better spot than Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr in the points table. They will be hell bent on securing those vital three points here.

Al Ittihad are one of the best attacking sides in the Saudi League this season. They are also good at defence as they have done well this season, which is keeping them at the top of the table. Karim Benzema and Co. will have to work harder to get through to the Al Qadsiah’s defence as they have improved quite a bit from their last encounter against Al Ittihad.
