Odds

Game Preview

Al Wehda started the season with a loss but then went on to win the next two games, scoring six goals along the way. Last season’s SPL champion Al Ittihad has been even better. The reigning champions are 3-0-0 since the start of the 2023 season, scoring nine goals along the way.

The reason why Al Ittihad has been so impressive is that this team has a fantastic roster in 2023. During the summer transfer window, this team signed several big-name players, including Fabinho (from Liverpool), N’Golo Kante (from Chelsea), and Karim Benzema (from Real Madrid).

There are rumors that Al Ittihad might even sign Mohamed Salah by the end of the transfer period, but we’re yet to see how it plays out. But even without him, these guys look capable of defending the title in the league that’s never been as competitive as today. Every point is extremely important in the 2023 SPL, which is why you can be 100% certain everyone involved will take the Al Wehda vs. Al Ittihad game seriously.

Al Wehda vs. Al Ittihad Prediction

Al Ittihad won each of the last five duels with Al Wehda, and we don’t think the one on Monday will be any different. We think the reigning SPL champions are going to come to Mecca and collect all three points.
