Preview: Al Ittihad vs Al Raed

After losing their previous match against Al Ahly 3-1 in the FIFA Club World Cup, Al-Ittihad will be hoping for a better outcome this time around.

Karim Benzema was the sole player from Al-Ittihad to score in the 92nd minute. Al Ahly scored goals through Emam Ashour (62′), Hussein El Shahat (59′), and Ali Maâloul (21′).

Al-Ittihad has scored goals in all six of their previous games, demonstrating that they have no trouble reaching the mark. In that time, they have managed to score 13 goals, while 10 have been scored against them. Nevertheless, we’ll simply have to wait and see if the pattern continues in the next game.

Al-Raed will be looking to bounce back from a losing performance in their most recent Professional League matchup against Damac.

Al-Raed possessed 47% of the possession in that game and made 5 shots on goal, only one of which went in. Damac had eight shots on goal at the opposite end, two of which were on target. Damac’s goal came from Georges-Kévin Nkoudou (42′).

Al-Raed has scored seven goals in their last six games, resulting in an average of 1.17 goals scored per game.

Al-Ittihad seems to have better possession and should generate multiple scoring opportunities. On the other hand, Al-Raed might have trouble scoring a goal of their own, but eventually, we can see them retaliating. As a result, at halftime, Al-Ittihad led 3-1 with relative ease.
