Neom SC vs Al Ittihad Analysis
Neom SC vs Al Ittihad Preview
Neom SC is still having relatively good results this season. Despite being a newcomer to the Saudi Pro League, coach Christophe Galtier’s team has earned 17 points and is currently ranked 7th in the standings. Having quickly moved away from the relegation zone, Neom SC promises to be a dark horse this season as their squad has a relatively large number of experienced players who have already made a name for themselves in top European leagues.
On the other side of the battlefield, Al Ittihad has won 4 out of their last 5 matches in all competitions. Although they are far behind the top teams in the Saudi Pro League standings, Al Ittihad has secured a place in the King Cup semi-finals and still has a good chance of reaching the Round of 16 in the AFC Champions League. Based on their recent performances, Al Ittihad is determined to achieve good results to compete for a higher position in the Saudi Pro League.
While Neom SC is still performing well in the Saudi Pro League, it has frequently suffered unfavorable results against stronger teams. Specifically, they lost to Al Qadsiah and Al Nassr, and drew against Al Taawon. Facing Al Ittihad, who have been in good form recently, it will be difficult for Neom SC to pull off an upset, and they are highly likely to lose convincingly despite having home advantage in the upcoming match.
