Al-Ittihad enters this Saudi Professional League clash as the clear favourite, reflected in the match odds and Asian Handicap. Their recent form showcases a potent attacking force, particularly in friendly matches, with dominant wins over weaker opposition. While their AFC Champions League results have been mixed, the home advantage and attacking prowess suggest they will be looking to secure a victory. Al-Shabab, despite a slightly better record recently, has struggled against Al-Ittihad in recent encounters, as shown in the provided match data, and their away form suggests their defense may be vulnerable. Also with a number of injuries, the team may struggle in this match. Considering Al-Ittihad's offensive capabilities and Al-Shabab's defensive vulnerabilities, an Asian Handicap bet on Al-Ittihad to win looks promising. Furthermore, given Al-Ittihad's high-scoring tendencies and the likelihood of Al-Shabab contributing to the scoreboard, an Over bet on the total goals seems like a solid choice. The odds also support a home win.
