Saudi Pro League action takes place on Monday evening as Al-Ettifaq host Al Najma.
The hosts arrive with renewed confidence after a strong win at Al-Okhdood, while Al Najma’s poor form continued with a defeat at Al-Khaleej.
Al-Ettifaq edged a seven-goal thriller when these sides met last year, and with the visitors struggling, the hosts look well placed to claim another victory.

Al-Ettifaq team overview
Al-Ettifaq return to EGO Stadium in high spirits after a well-deserved 3-1 win against Al-Okhdood last week. Second-half goals from Khalid Al-Ghannam (74') and Georginio Wijnaldum (79') secured victory for Saad Al-Shehri’s side.
Inconsistency has been the biggest issue for the home side, with five wins and five defeats recorded from 11 games played since the start of February.
Al-Shehri’s side have enjoyed more consistency in home fixtures, picking up victories in four of their six most recent matches at EGO Stadium.
Head coach Al-Shehri is expected to name the same side that edged past Al-Okhdood. Al-Ettifaq have no reported injury issues.

Al Najma team overview
Al Najma make the trip to EGO Stadium after another Saudi Pro League defeat, falling 3-1 to Al-Khaleej in their most recent outing. Nestor El Maestro’s side have endured a miserable run, losing eight of their last nine league matches.
That poor form has confirmed their relegation, with the visitors rooted to the bottom after collecting just 11 points all season and now playing only for pride in the final weeks.
A dismal road record has seen the visitors lose 13 of 15 away SPL matches, and a similar outcome seems likely on Monday.
Head coach El Maestro has two confirmed absentees this week. Mohammed Al-Kunaydiri and Fahad Al-Abdulrazzaq are both ruled out through injury.

Prediction
Al-Ettifaq can claim victory against an Al Ajma side in desperately poor form.
A home win is my preferred pick for Monday’s Saudi Pro League clash.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Al-Ettifaq to Win
- Al-Ettifaq won 4 of their last 6 home matches (SPL)
- Al Najma lost 8 of their last 9 matches
- Al Najma lost 13 of their last 15 away matches (SPL)
