In their recent league match, Al-Ettifaq drew 2-2 at home against Al Nassr. Over their last five league games, Al-Ettifaq remains undefeated with 2 wins and 3 draws, demonstrating a stable form. Al-Okhdood has also played 11 league matches, achieving only 1 win, 2 draws, and 8 losses, placing them 17th in the league, reflecting a poor performance. Their home record is 1 win, 1 draw, and 4 losses, while their away record is just 1 draw and 4 losses, highlighting a significant lack of away form. In their previous league match, Al-Okhdood lost 0-1 at home to Damac. Over the last four league games, the team has only managed 1 draw and 3 losses, indicating a consistent decline in form. The initial odds for this match see Al-Ettifaq as the home favourite, offering a handicap of 0.5 with a low payout, which seems too cheap. The odds then quickly increased to 0.75 and currently sit at 1.0 with a high payout, which suggests heavy backing for the home team and a degree of caution from the odds setters. Given the significant difference in team strengths, the initial odds should have reflected this more accurately. The current data, while favouring the home team, shows signs of over-optimism. It is believed that Al-Okhdood has a greater chance of holding their ground against the odds, and a potential upset is possible.
