What to expect
We expect about 1.9 goals from Al Ittihad and 1.2 from Al Shabab, so Al Ittihad come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.1 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Our pick: Al Ittihad to win. Al Ittihad are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-1.2), and we make them about 55% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 54 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.91, which works out at about 52 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
