Al Ittihad vs Al Riyadh Match Preview

Al Ittihad return home looking to re establish momentum after a mixed run that has swung between strong cup form and tougher league outings. Al Riyadh arrive with steady performances in recent weeks, often competitive and difficult to break down. The meeting carries weight for both sides, with Al Ittihad seeking a reaction and Al Riyadh aiming to show they can stay organised against higher level opponents.

Al Ittihad Look for Control After an Uneven League Spell

Al Ittihad have produced contrasting performances across competitions. Their recent cup win against Sharjah FC by 3-0 showed a sharper edge in possession and finishing, although league matches have been more turbulent. The 4-4 draw at Al Khaleej highlighted both creativity and defensive uncertainty, while the narrow 1-2 win at Al Nassr in the King Cup underlined their ability to respond when games become stretched.

Their home form has lacked stability with defeats against Al Ahli by 0-1 and Al-Hilal by 0-2. Those results suggest they can be vulnerable when pressed inside their own half. Even so, their attacking quality tends to create chances at home and they have a strong record in this fixture which adds confidence.

Al Riyadh Aim to Extend Competitive Run

Al Riyadh come into the match with back to back league draws, including a 1-1 result against Damac and another 1-1 outcome at Al Ahli. Those performances show a disciplined approach that limits space between the lines. Their King Cup defeat at Al Fateh by 2-0 was a setback, but they responded with a tight 1-0 home win over Al Khlood before that run of draws.

Away from home they have seen mixed outcomes. The 4-1 loss at Al Khaleej earlier in the month exposed defensive gaps when opponents increase tempo. Even so, their recent pattern points to a side that competes consistently and stays in matches for long spells.

Al Ittihad vs Al Riyadh Prediction

The main pick of Al Ittihad to win and both teams to score fits naturally with the recent rhythm of both sides. Al Ittihad have been involved in high scoring matches such as the 4-4 at Al Khaleej and they continue to create chances even in defeat. Al Riyadh have scored in three of their last four league games and arrive with a more balanced structure, which gives them a realistic path to find a goal.

Additionally, the head to head record leans heavily toward Al Ittihad with consistent home victories including the most recent 2-1 meeting in March 2025. That pattern supports the idea of a competitive match where Al Riyadh contribute yet Al Ittihad’s attacking strength carries the final edge.

A 2-1 home win is listed and it aligns with the scoring trend of Al Ittihad’s recent matches and the way Al Riyadh tend to stay competitive without fully shutting down stronger sides. It reflects a scenario where Al Ittihad pull ahead late while Al Riyadh still find a moment to test them.
