We said: Al-Hilal 3-2 Al Ittihad

While Al Ittihad will be brimming with confidence after that commanding win over Al Wehda last week, they are now set for their toughest test of the season against the defending champions, who have been just as impressive over the early stages of the campaign. This one could easily end in another goal-fest, but it is difficult to overlook Al-Hilal's home record, so we are going with the hosts to secure the points in this one. Read more.
