Prediction: Al Ahli Wins
Al Ittihad’s title defence has been poor, and this is another game they could potentially drop points in. The champions have particularly been poor on the road and have struggled against the top sides. They haven't won any of their previous five league games against the top three sides.
Al Ahli won the first meeting with Al Ittihad this season, and in their current form, they could be in line for another victory. Our prediction for Al Ahli v Al Ittihad is that Al Ahli wins.

In the reverse fixture, Al Ahli beat Al Ittihad 1-0 courtesy of Riyad Mahrez’s second-half goal. That was their third win in five meetings with Al Ittihad, and the hosts will be confident of another such result.
It isn’t hard to see why, as Al Ahli have won each of their last eight matches at home. Across all competitions, Al Ahli have only suffered two defeats in their last 20 games.

Al Ittihad start this round trailing Al Ahli by 17 points. Their title charge is not officially dead despite being 19 points behind the league leaders.
However, with 10 matches remaining, they may not have the muscle to power a successful defence. It is even worsened by the fact that Al-numour have not beaten any top-three side in the league this season.
This will be their sixth meeting against a team in the top three, and they’ve only collected a point from a possible 15. Last time out they beat Al Khaleej 1-0, but their problems come about when on the road.
They are winless in six away league matches, losing twice.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Ahli -0.5/1
European Handicap: Ahli Wins
Predicted Scores: 2-0, 2-1, 3-1
Predicted Total Goals: 2, 3, 4
