Al Ittihad vs Al Qadsiah Prediction 21.05.2026 | Saudi Pro League

Al-Ittihad Club head into the final matchweek of a turbulent campaign firmly positioned in fifth place with 55 points, holding a narrow two point cushion over Al Taawoun FC, meaning a positive result on Thursday would mathematically secure their place inside the top five.

Although their reign as Saudi Pro League champions has officially come to an end, Sergio Conceicao’s side have managed to steady the ship during the closing stages of the season, collecting three victories from their last five league outings to restore a degree of stability and confidence.

The Tigers also return to King Abdullah Sports City boosted by an impressive decision-day pedigree, having remarkably avoided defeat in their last home league fixture of the season throughout the previous decade, recording two victories and two draws during that stretch.

As for team news, the only absentee expected for the final matchday is Malian midfielder Mahamadou Doumbia, who remains sidelined with a serious ACL injury that is likely to keep him out until the end of 2026.

Al Qadsiah travel to Jeddah with their season already written into the history books, having comfortably exceeded pre-season expectations to secure a fourth-place finish and confirm qualification for the prestigious AFC Champions League.

The Knights of the East arrive in outstanding form and with momentum firmly on their side, having established themselves as one of the division’s standout giant-killers, most recently underlined by a statement 3-1 victory over league leaders Al Nassr Riyadh, a result that forms part of their ongoing four-game winning streak.

A deeper look at their numbers highlights remarkable resilience on foreign soil, with the Khobar-based outfit registering eight wins from their last ten away fixtures since the turn of the year, a record they will be eager to extend as they look to close out a historic campaign in style.

On the team news front, Al Qadsiah travel with a largely full squad, with only Waleed Al-Ahmad unavailable for selection, leaving the visitors well positioned to field a strong side as they aim to round off their season on a high note.
