Preview

Match preview

Al-Ittihad FC welcome Al Diriyah to Jeddah for matchday 11 of the Saudi Pro League, with both sides looking to consolidate their positions near the top third of the table. The hosts sit fourth on 20 points from nine matches and remain unbeaten on their home ground this campaign, having recorded three wins and one draw while netting eight goals in those four fixtures.

Al Diriyah arrive in respectable shape, occupying seventh place with 15 points from ten games. While their home form has seen several stalemates, they have been surprisingly efficient on their travels, securing three victories from four away fixtures. However, taking on one of the league's most potent attacking units poses a significantly sterner test than their previous road assignments.

With Al-Ittihad scoring at a healthy clip of two goals per match, powered by attacking contributions from Youssef En-Nesyri, George Ilenikhena, and Steven Bergwijn, the home side hold the upper hand in terms of firepower. Al Diriyah will need to maintain their disciplined defensive structure to remain competitive over ninety minutes.

Al-Ittihad FC or Draw

78%

Confidence

Al-Ittihad FC have established a solid baseline at home this season, winning three and drawing one of their four league fixtures while averaging two goals scored per match. Their attacking core is firing consistently, with Youssef En-Nesyri tallying seven goals, alongside five each from George Ilenikhena and Steven Bergwijn. While Al Diriyah have shown resilience on the road with three wins in four away games, their overall goal return of nine in ten matches indicates limited offensive punch compared to the hosts. Backing Al-Ittihad on the double chance accounts for Al Diriyah's competitive away record while maintaining a high-probability stance behind the hosts' unbeaten home sequence and superior scoring depth.
