This Saudi Professional League match pits Neom SC against Al-Ittihad. Al-Ittihad, based on recent form, appear to have a significant advantage. Their last five matches display a strong attacking prowess, with multiple high-scoring wins in friendlies and domestic competitions. Their recent away form is particularly impressive, suggesting they travel well. Neom SC's form paints a contrasting picture. While they've shown resilience, their recent results reveal a vulnerability, with losses against Al-Nassr. Their home form isn't a significant strength, and their goal-scoring ability seems less potent compared to Al-Ittihad. Considering the spatial compression and expansion theory, we can see Al-Ittihad is more expansive in their attack. They are able to create more space and exploit weaknesses in the opponent's defence. Neom SC, in comparison, appears more compressed, struggling to generate the same level of attacking threat. The injury situation also favours Al-Ittihad, with fewer key players sidelined. The odds also back Al-Ittihad. Therefore, I predict Al-Ittihad to win with Asian Handicap of -0.25. Given the attacking potential of Al-Ittihad and potential defensive weaknesses of Neom SC, I anticipate an over 3.25 goals, and a Al-Ittihad win.
