In green form the Nasser (5-1-0) which, after the change of coach, seems to overcome the crisis as in the previous eight it was disappointing (1-1-6). Of course, if we look more closely at her painting we will find that she did not play with any of the beasts. Kati Batin, Damak, and Al Ain were her opponents, teams that she can beat only with the jersey. Today it will be seen whether the recovery was real and not fictitious.
On the other hand, Itihad, much more problematic than last year, has managed to keep in touch with the top, having suffered only two defeats, by small and medium teams (1-2 in the premiere by Etifak and 0-1 recently from Abha). From a big team, however, it has not lost this year (2-0 against Ahli, 1-1 with Hilal).
The match will take place in Mecca and not in Jeddah, which is the headquarters of Ittihad, while the absence of the Moroccan midfielder Karim El Ahmadi is important. which, however, is "equalized" by the return of the important midfielder Gary Rodrεςguez (former PAOK). On the other hand, Nasser has problems with the continued absence of star Hamed Abdal and the injury (in the last match) of the Argentine midfielder Gonzalo Martinez.
Despite the home neutral, I do not think Nasser is the favorite to win.
