Al Ittihad vs Al Hilal Prediction
Al Ittihad have opened up a four-point lead at the summit as they seek to dethrone their visitors from their perch. They have a 100% record at home, winning all 10 games played in front of their fans.
Al Hilal have not been at their best in recent weeks, having won just one of their last four league games. They drew each of their last two games and a failure to claim maximum points here would see them fall further off the pace.
We are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a high-scoring stalemate.
