Command Analysis

Al-Ettifaq

Current form
Al-Ittifaq has a fairly solid squad by Saudi Arabia's standards, but so far it has not been able to get into the fight for medals. Even now, the team occupies only the eighth place in the standings, which clearly does not match the ambitions of the club from Dammam. The club is already 12 points behind sixth place, so even last season's result cannot be repeated. After losing at home to the struggling Al-Fahy (0:2), the team managed to draw with the higher-status Al-Qadisiya (1:1) and Al-Hilal (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad on the eve of the 28th round.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last four matches, the hosts have not won a single victory.
- The team has conceded in each of the last seven matches.
Approximate line-up: Rodak - Madu, Hendry, Khatib-Costa, Ali, Al-Malki, Abdulrahman- Medran, Wijnaldum, Gray

Al Riyadh

Current form
Riyadh does not have any star players in its squad, but the team is located next door to today's opponent. Last season, the visitors were fighting for survival, just three points away from the relegation zone. Now the club is confidently moving in the middle of the standings and occupies the ninth place in the Premier League. However, at the moment the team from Riyadh is not in the best shape. On March 8, we managed to narrowly beat Al-Ahdoud (1-0) from the relegation zone. Then Sabri Lamushi's team lost to Al-Ittihad (1:2) and Al-Nasr (1:2), and also failed to beat Damak (0:0) on their own field.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the squad on the eve of the away match.
Interesting betting trends

Opponents tend to act in an attacking style and are unlikely to change tactics in a face-to-face duel. The result doesn't put pressure on the teams, so there's not much point in sitting on the defensive. We think that the players will arrange a real celebration for the fans, giving them a spectacular match with a lot of goals scored.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.75
Betting on corners
We believe that the opponents will play attacking football, so there should be a lot of corners in this match. We suggest betting on a total of more on this indicator.
