Big match between Al Nassr and Al Ittihad today, at the Al Awwal Park stadium in Riyadh. Ittihad will be the strong favorites to win this match, given the poor form from Al Nassr recently. They lost to Kawasaki in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, and before that they lost against Al Qadisiyah and then drew against Al Shabab in the Saudi Professional League. On the other hand, Ittihad has been in quite good form throughout this season and at the moment they are on the top of points table with 68 points.
The match will be interesting and tight and at the same time reunite Ronaldo vs Benzema for the umpteenth time. Al Nassr was unlucky enough in other competitions they had to lose to a team below their level but in local competitions in the last 5 weeks they have only lost once which means their performance is not in bad condition as well as Al Ittihad, I think seeing this both teams are ready to play well and I quite object to Al Ittihad as the favorite. This is Al Nassr home and the odds are also leaning towards them which means the host is the favorite.
