Al Ettifaq vs Al Ittihad: Saudi Pro League 2023/24 Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups
The fourteenth matchday in the Saudi Pro League is set to begin with a Friday evening clash between Al Ettifaq and Al Ittihad at the Abdullah Al-Dabal Stadium. Al Ettifaq, the home team, currently holds the seventh position in the league standings with 22 points. On the other hand, Al Ittihad, the visiting team, is two places ahead and has accumulated two additional points, having played 13 matches so far.
After a promising start to the 2023-24 season with five wins and a draw in their first six games, Al Ettifaq has faced recent setbacks, slipping 10 points behind the league’s top two. Steven Gerrard’s team, after a draw against Al Fayha and Al Raed, has only secured one win in the last seven matches. They were eliminated from the King’s Cup by Al Nassr, and their league standing has been affected. Despite these challenges, Al Ettifaq takes confidence from their strong home record, having lost only once in seven matches this season. However, they face the difficulty of not winning in their last four encounters against this opponent since January 2021.
Al Ittihad, the defending champions, faced a mixed start to the league season and decided to part ways with manager Nuno Espirito Santo after a 2-0 loss to Air Force Club in the Asian Champions League. Marcelo Gallardo, the highly successful coach of River Plate, has taken charge until 2025. Interim manager Hassan Khalifa led the team to a 4-2 victory against Abha, breaking a five-match winless streak. Despite being the away side, Al Ittihad boasts a strong away record this season, with four wins, two draws, and one loss in seven games, as they aim to climb in the standings.
