The Al-Akhdoud team will challenge the Al-Ittihad team in a Matchday 6 Saudi Arabia Pro League in Prince Hathloul Bin Abdul Aziz Sport City Stadium Stadium, Najran on Thursday, September 14, 2023. For streaming coverage of Al-Akhdoud vs Al-Ittihad, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Al-Akhdoud will host Al-Ittihad at the Prince Hathloul Bin Abdul Aziz Sport City Stadium in the sixth match of the Saudi Pro League (SPL) on Thursday. This is a match between two teams who have different performances, where Al-Akhdoud is in the relegation zone, while Al-Ittihad is in third place and only one point behind leaders Al-Hilal.
Al-Akhdoud is one of the promoted teams that managed to climb to the highest caste of Saudi Arabian football after playing very well last season in the second division. However, they experienced many difficulties when they had to face stronger opponents. They only got 4 points from the first 5 matches, with details of one win, one draw and three losses. They scored 3 goals and conceded 7 goals.
In the last match, Al-Akhdoud achieved their first win in the SPL when they beat Al Riyadh 1-0 at home. It was an even match but Al-Akhdoud managed to capitalize on the opportunity and scored the only goal in the 55th minute through Leandre Tawamba. The striker from Cameroon appeared impressive in his debut match for his new club.
On the other hand, their opponents, Al-Ittihad, are the defending SPL champions. They had an incredible season as they captured the ninth title in their history. They scored 67 goals and conceded only 29 goals in 30 matches. They also won the Saudi Arabian Super Cup when they beat Al-Hilal 2-1.
However, this season Al-Ittihad will face many challenges because many other teams have brought in many stars from Europe. Al-Ittihad got 12 points from 4 matches in SPL but in their previous match, they lost 3-4 to Al Hilal at home. It was a dramatic match where both teams had many chances to score but in the end Al-Ittihad could not maintain a 3-1 lead in the first half.
Goals from Romarinho, Karim Benzema and Abderrazak Hamdallah were not enough to give them victory. Benzema may not be able to play in the upcoming match due to injury. Instead, Jota will partner Fabinho and Kante in midfield. Al-Ittihad have shown their strength when scoring 10 goals without reply in three away games this season. They only lost twice in all competitions, both of which were due to Al Hilal.
With both teams having a long break, they will play with their best squad. However, in terms of player quality and goal scoring effectiveness, Al-Ittihad is expected to achieve an easy victory.
