Match Preview
Al Ettifaq hosts Al Hilal at EGO Stadium in Ad Dammām this Friday, and the match promises to be an intriguing contest between two sides with contrasting recent form. Al Ettifaq has shown resilience, securing three wins in their last five matches, although they stumbled with a draw in their most recent outing. In contrast, Al Hilal arrives with a strong record, boasting four wins and a draw in their last five fixtures, indicating a robust attacking prowess.
One key angle to consider is Al Ettifaq’s home advantage. Historically, they have performed well against Al Hilal at home, winning six of their last ten encounters. However, Al Hilal's current form and depth in squad quality cannot be overlooked, making this a potentially high-scoring affair. With both teams capable of finding the net, the possibility of both teams scoring (BTTS) could be a significant factor in this match. Fans can expect an entertaining clash as Al Ettifaq seeks to leverage their home ground while Al Hilal aims to maintain their winning momentum.
