Al-Ittihad FC vs Al Diriyah Prediction

Al-Ittihad host Al Diriyah on 23 October 2026 at 18:30 in the Pro League. Al-Ittihad arrive off a 4–1 demolition of Al-Ittifak, generating 19 shots and 8 on target with an expected goals figure of 2.76. Al Diriyah won their last fixture 1–0 against Al Riyadh but have scored just four goals across their last five matches. The visitors showed defensive vulnerability in a 0–3 loss to Al-Nassr and have conceded expected goals ranging from 1.41 to 2.29 in recent outings, suggesting they struggle against high-volume attacking sides.

Form and H2H

Al-Ittihad have won six of their last ten home matches, averaging 1.90 goals for and 1.20 against. Their recent record reads two wins, one draw, and two losses across five games, with 11 goals scored and eight conceded. Only one of their last five matches finished below three total goals. Al Diriyah show steadier results—two wins, two draws, one loss—but their attacking output remains limited at 0.99 goals per game on the road.

Al-Ittihad's attacking volume significantly outpaces Al Diriyah's, with the hosts averaging 81.22 attacks and 39.56 dangerous attacks per game compared to Al Diriyah's 82.5 and 44.7 respectively, though the decisive gap lies in finishing quality.
