Al-ittihad has indeed won 2 consecutive victories at the beginning of this second half season. And well that is indeed a good development for this club which had slumped at the end of the first half of the season. But unfortunately Al-ittihad is already far behind in points from al-Nassr and Al-hilal in the SPL. So for Al-ittihad maybe they just have to fight harder in the AFC champions league. And fortunately Al-ittihad has managed to qualify from the round of 16 in the AFC Champion League. But well the real problem does arise in the quarter-finals because Al-ittihad must face the strongest opponent there, AL-hilal. And obviously it will be a difficult match for AL-ittihad. But that doesn't mean Al-ittihad doesn't have a chance. It's just that the chances of beating Al-hilal are quite small.
Al Ittihad which is currently defending champions and also competing into AFC Champions League were in poor form, but this break brings good fortune for them with now things are improved, and their players are doing good in last few days they won few matches which give them good confidence because now they are having 4 wins and 1 draw from their last 5 games which is impressive.
But, now in upcoming week things are going to be challenging again because in their next five games they are going to face Al Hilal three times which is surely not easy and with the loses they can go down again because now we are heading for the last rounds of this season, and they needed to be at their best, but these matches are surely going to be not easy with two matches will be held at Al Hilal home and third one will be at their own home so they need to be on better level for the good results and having better momentum until end of this season which they lost and now having 5th spot in league table.
