Al Hilal facing serious injuries problems as their main striker Mitrovic out of action for last 2 months which is big setback for them this brings them second in league table and their performance is also on decline while Al Ittihad is having good time with they are also facing some problems in last 2 games.

Title race is still wide open with in coming round Al Ittihad is going to face Al Qadisiyah which could be not easy time for them even few other top matches are also going to be played, but this could be main match of week in case win for Al Qadisiyah things could be good for Al Hilal and Al Qadisiyah which are looking for narrowing difference of points with Al Hilal is facing problems due to absence of Mitrovic which is out of action for long time with hamstring problem.
Al-Ittihad draw against Al Akhdood was a big mistake that had to be avoided especially when you see your direct rival losing 3 points. There was disallowed goals among other things but Al-Ittihad missed a golden opportunity to increase the gap.
For Al-Hilal, I hardly recognise them this season very well. Their next game is against Al Feiha, so it is supposed to be easy to go match but they are participating in AFC Champions League today against a team from Uzbekistan, so they have less time to rest.
