Al Ittihad vs Al-Ahli: Team News, Predictions And Possible Lineups

Al Ittihad vs Al-Ahli: The home team will be looking to move to the top of the League when they play host to the away team on Friday.

Team News:

Al Ittihad will be without Egyptian defender Ahmed Hegazy and goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Jadani, aged 32.

Both players are recovering from cruciate ligament injuries. Additionally, Ahmed Bamasud had to leave the pitch due to an injury during the game against Al Fayha.

On the other hand, Al-Ahli will play without their seasoned midfielder Abdullah Otayf, who hasn’t played since late August due to a cruciate ligament tear.

Even with the setback in the previous game, it’s anticipated that Jaissle will maintain a similar lineup this Friday.

The familiar Premier League trio of Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, and Allan Saint-Maximin are expected to lead the attack.

Prediction:

Both teams failed to secure full points in their last matches.

As the weekend approaches, both teams aim to clinch a win.

While Jaissle’s squad has faced defeats in their recent away matches, their offensive prowess is undeniable.

Still, the odds seem to favor the home team continuing their dominance in the upcoming match.

We say: Al Ittihad 3-1 Al-Ahli
