Al-Ettifaq will meet Al-Ahli today and to be honest this is a match that is quite difficult to predict. We know that Al-Ahli is in a better position but it cannot be ruled out that Al-Ettifaq will prevent them from winning. As the host, of course Al-Ettifaq doesn't want to lose and Steven Gerrard has to set a good strategy to embarrass Al-Ahli.
But it won't be easy either because Al-Ahli's attack will be led by the dangerous trio of Saint Maximin, Firmino, and Mahrez who will always threaten Al-Ettifaq's defense during the match. Al-Ahli really needs an additional 3 points to widen the gap from Al-Ittihad, while Al-Ettifaq also has to win in order to return to the top 4 of the standings in the remaining matches.
What are your predictions for this match? is it possible that the two teams only share one point?
I didn't expect Al-Ettifaq to be able to make things difficult for Al-Ahi, who has a more mature squad depth and also Al-Ettifaq didn't feel weak even though they were only supported by a handful of European players. Quite good results from both teams where each team was able to maintain its current position in the standings and next week they will have to try even harder to secure victory.
