Feb 25th features a match where Al Ittifaq will travel to Hafar Al-Batin to battle Al Batin in a meeting of these two closely matched Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Al Batin recorded a 0-2 loss against Al Fateh. Marwane Saadane scored the first goal for Al Fateh in the 43rd minute on a penalty shot, then Tello added another in the 68th minute on a feed from Petros In the end, Al Batin couldn’t muster any offence and Al Fateh ran away with the shutout win. Al Batin looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 8 of their last 10, while al Ittifaq sits at 11th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-3 loss against Al Ittihad. Hélder Costa scored the first goal for Al Ittihad in the 19th minute, then da Silva added another in the 59th minute on a feed from Coronado In the end, Al Ittifaq was frustrated by Al Ittihad’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Al Ittihad ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
On Friday Sep 9th, Al Ittifaq hosted Al Batin in their last match together. Al Ittifaq won by a score of 3 to 0. Vitinho struck first for Al Ittifaq in the 66th minute, then Youssouf Niakate added another in the 88th minute on a penalty shot At the end of 90 a dissapointed Al Batin couldn’t manage to score, and Al Ittifaq took the shutout win.
Vitinho and Robin Quaison are the top scorers for Al Ittifaq in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Al Shammari has been the most prolific scorer on Al Batin in the last 5 matches with two goals.
