Al Ittihad vs Neom SC prediction 08.04.2026 | Saudi Pro League

Al-Ittihad’s recent form has been inconsistent. Across their last five league matches, Al-Ittihad have recorded two wins, one draw, and two defeats, conceding multiple goals in three of those fixtures - they conceded an average of three goals across the two losses. However, they bounced back with a 1-0 win over Al-Hazem last weekend.

In terms of availability, Al-Ittihad are expected to be without Saad Al-Mousa due to injury, which could slightly weaken their defensive depth. Nevertheless, their home advantage remains significant, with the majority of their points this season coming in Jeddah, where they have accumulated the fifth-highest number of points among all 18 teams.

Neom SC’s first-ever Saudi Pro League campaign has been competitive, with the side collecting 36 points from 27 matches. Christophe Galtier’s men have accumulated a double-digit number of wins and have been even more successful in away matches than at home - Neom have earned 19 points from 13 away fixtures, two more than their total points tally at home.

Offensively, Alexandre Lacazette has been their standout performer with 11 league goals, supported by contributions from Saïd Benrahma and Luciano Rodríguez. However, Neom’s attacking output drops notably in away fixtures, where they tend to adopt a more conservative tactical approach.

Injury-wise, Neom SC are dealing with the absence of goalkeeper Marcin Bułka, which could impact defensive organization and shot-stopping reliability.
