Al-Ettifaq vs Al Khaleej Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday, 24 August 2023.
Al-Ettifaq are set to host Al Khaleej at the Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium for their upcoming league fixture. Al-Ettifaq enter the contest following a pair of excellent performances. They sit third in the table after a 2-0 win over Al Hazm in their previous league match.
Their opponents, Al Khaleej, come into the game with a set of subpar results. They remain 16th in the standings following a 3-1 defeat to Al Ahli last time out.
The last time these two clubs met was in May. Al Khaleej managed to deliver a 2-1 win that day.
Al-Ettifaq has only lost this fixture once in the eight meetings between the two teams. They have also won this fixture on seven of those occasions.
We are counting on Al-Ettifaq to pull off a win here. They have started the season in excellent form heading into this one. Their two league matches so far have both resulted in wins.
Al Khaleej, on the other hand, has had a disastrous start to the season. Their two league matches this season have both ended in defeats.
Moreover, Al-Ettifaq also has a great h2h record in the recent history of this matchup.
We expect goals in this match. Al-Ettifaq has scored goals at a superb rate in recent weeks. Their offensive statistics in the last two matches point to an above 2.5 goal total. Also, both of Al Khaleej’s two league matches so far have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, three of the last four h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Both teams have been scoring a decent number of goals in recent weeks. The hosts have scored four goals in their two league matches. While the visitors were scoring at a fine pace in preseason friendly, and have also scored in both of their league encounters thus far.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Al-Ettifaq are in excellent form heading into the match. Their two league matches so far this campaign have both ended in victories. They also have a great record against Al Khaleej. Furthermore, Al Khaleej has had a poor form going into the match.
A victory for Al-Ettifaq at 1.75 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.70 look quite attractive. Given both clubs’ strong attacking prowess and recent goal participation at both ends of the pitch.
