Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq travel to Al Khaleej as they look to halt their terrible form in the Saudi Pro League.
Al Khaleej lost their last league outing, but had won their previous four fixtures before that.
The look is far more bleak for Al Ettifaq, who haven’t won a game in nine matches, slipping to 13th in the table, just three points above the relegation zone.

Al Khaleej have struggled in this fixture, winning just one of the teams last six matchups.
In the pair’s last game, Al Ettifaq ran out 2-0 winners thanks to second-half goals from Demarai Gray and Georginio Wijnaldum.
At the time, Al Ettifaq were in much better form, so this could be the time for Al Khaleej to get their second win over the opponents.

Al Khaleej vs. Al Ettifaq Picks
Things look very concerning for Al Ettifag and its hard to see them stop the rot here. The lack of goals combined with Al Khaleej’s current form make this matchup favourable for the hosts.
Whilst Al Khaleej lack the stars of Al Ettifaq, their form, goal scoring ability and home advantage makes them favourites here.
