الاتحاد مقابل نئوم اس‌سی

Al Ittihad and Neom SC meet in Jeddah with the Pro League table tight at the top. Al Ittihad are fourth on 24 points from 11 games, and Neom SC are fifth on 22 from 12, so a win could shift the order. Al Ittihad have lost once all season, 3-2 at Al-Hilal in early October. Since then they have won 4-1 at Al-Ettifaq and 2-0 against Diriyah, then drew 1-1 at Abha last time out. Youssef En-Nesyri is the man to watch up front. Hamed Al-Ghamdi is listed as injured, with a return pencilled in for April 2027. Neom SC lost to Al-Ettifaq and Al-Nassr by a single goal each, then won 2-0 against Abha and 2-1 at Diriyah. Alexandre Lacazette leads their attack. These two met twice last season, Neom SC winning 4-3 in April after Al Ittihad had won 3-1 in December. Our prediction: 2-1
