Al Ittihad host Al Diraiyah FC in the Pro League tonight, with the home side on 20 points from 9 matches, sitting 4th, while the visitors have 15 points from 10 matches, in 7th. Both teams won their most recent match, but their paths have been different. Al Ittihad score plenty but also concede a fair amount, while Al Diraiyah FC focus on a tight defence and wait for counter-attacking chances. Al Ittihad's last five matches have mixed comfortable wins and narrow defeats. They thrashed opponents 4-1 at home last time out, but before that lost 2-3 in the league and 1-2 in the cup, so their defence remains a point to watch. Al Diraiyah FC, meanwhile, have 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in their last five, edging a 1-0 win most recently and also playing out a 0-0 draw. Their only defeat was a 0-3 thrashing, so this team is hard to break down and rarely opens up to trade blows. The game is likely to see Al Ittihad dominate possession and push forward, while Al Diraiyah FC sit deep and wait to counter. The first half may start cautiously for both sides, but in the second half the hosts will push higher to find a goal, while the visitors also have a chance to score from counter-attacks late on.
