Al Ittifaq vs Al Wahda Betting Tips

Goals could be on the cards as Al Ittigaq welcomes Al Wahda to Ad Dammām with both sides in good form in recent weeks.

Hosts Al Ittifaq comes into this fixture unbeaten in their last 5 league outings, picking up a couple of draws before 3 successive wins against Damak, Al Faisaly and most recently, against Al Quadislya. Al Ittifaq scored 12 goals in those 5 unbeaten matches.

Al Ittifaq is hugely inconsistent at home, winning 10 and losing 10 of their last 20 home league matches. They have lost 3 of their last 5 at home more recently, leaving them 4th in the division, 6 points adrift of league leaders Al Hilal.

Visiting Al Wahda come into this fixture also in good form but also with problems of consistency.

While the visitors have managed to win 4 of their last 5 league matches, they too have a hit or miss record, winning 8 and losing 8 of their last 16 league matches.

As such, a draw would seem to be the least likely possible outcome here with neither side seeing a stalemate in any of their last 36 league matches combined. This is also backed up by recent past meetings which have seen no draws in the past 7. Backing either side to win is short but likely at 1.25 odds.

Al Ittifaq won 3 of the 4 most recent meetings, but Al Wahda has won 4 of the last 7 since 2015. 5 of the last 6 meetings also saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored. BTTS is available at 1.66 odds at the time of writing.

Based on all those stats and form, picking a winner is akin to tossing a coin so, based on past meetings, BTTS looks the best option in this match-up which seems destined to produce a winner withdraws seemingly out-of-style in the Saudi Pro League.
