Al-Ittihad

Current form
Al-Ittihad finished the previous season in fifth place in the league table, failing to qualify for the Asian Champions League. This all angered the players, and at the moment, after 13 rounds played with 36 points scored, Laurent Blanc's team is in first place in the ranking, ahead of their closest opponent and the current champion by two points. The guests of the upcoming match are the only ones who have not lost a single match in the national championship.
The main striking force is Karim Benzema, who with ten goals scored is in second place in the scorers' race. The Frenchman shares the second line with the famous Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo. Historically, Al-Hilal have not played well against them. Al-Ittihad have not been able to win more than ten away games.

Felipe and Al-Shehri are injured and will not be able to take to the field.

1.78Tip and bets
The two most productive clubs in the league, who are the only ones to have scored more than 30 goals, will play each other. Last year, the teams played each other six times, and in four games, two opponents managed to score. We believe that bookmakers have miscalculated, since they are giving such a decent coefficient for two opponents to score. This should be used, because before the start, it is very likely to drop significantly.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.56
Bet on the outcome
Despite the fact that Al-Hilal lost points in two of their last five matches, the team plays perfectly on their home field. Yes, Al-Ittihad won their last five away matches, but they have never played against an opponent like their upcoming opponent. We believe that the current champion of Saudi Arabia will come out fully charged and will be able to leave their main rival on the sidelines of the tournament.
Our prediction is Al-Hilal's victory with odds of 1.62
Bet on corners
Judging by the way the opponents play, this match will not be boring, and they will be able to make a decent number of corners between them. We will make another bet on the over total for this indicator.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.76
