Prediction: Al-Ittihad wins
Al-Ittihad Jeddah might not have the best home record this season, but the reigning champions must not be underestimated. Given their opponents' poor form, an A+ performance can be expected from them in this one.
Inconsistency has been a contributing factor to Al-Shabab's struggles, which have maintained a three-point cushion over the red dotted line. Also, they have the third-worst away record. It's worth noting that they've lost three consecutive away matches in this fixture. Over 1.5 goals landed in each of those outings. Our Al-Ittihad Jeddah vs Al-Shabab prediction: Al-Ittihad to win and over 1.5 goals.

The reigning champions, Al-Ittihad Jeddah, are in for a challenging campaign in the Saudi Pro League. Ambitions were to retain the title entering the new season, but as they find themselves 13 points behind the top spot, doubt has entered their camp.
Indeed, the season is still in the early stages, but the champions have shown no fighting spirit in changing the course of their fate. They've won just one of their last six league games (D2, L3). Their previous match was against Al-Riyadh, and they secured a 2-1 victory.
Al-Amid's recent match ended in a hard-fought 1-0 home victory against Uzbekistan's Nasaf Qarshi in the AFC Champions League (league phase).
