If you’re searching for the most accurate Al Ittihad vs Al Okhdood prediction ahead of their Saudi Pro League meeting, you’ve landed in the right place. On January 26, 2026, at 17:30 GMT, these two sides will meet in a match that’s already drawing plenty of attention from fans, punters, and stat lovers alike. With the home team’s squad valued at a whopping €141.75 million compared to the visitors’ €11.77 million, the gulf in resources is as wide as the Red Sea. But as we’ve seen before, football loves a surprise—or at least a good story.
Al Ittihad, often simply called Ittihad, have built their reputation on technical football, strong possession play, and a knack for controlling matches from the midfield. Their recent away win against Al Nassr—where they defied the odds (5.8 for a win!) and came out 2-1 victors—shows that they’re not just a team with big names but also big performances. With a squad value that dwarfs most in the league, it’s no surprise that the betting odds for a home win sit at just 1.162.
On the other hand, Al Okhdood (sometimes written as Al Akhdoud or Al Akhdoud FC) are the underdogs in every sense. Their last outing, a gritty 0-0 draw away to Al-Qadisiyah, proved they can dig in and frustrate bigger teams, even when the odds are stacked against them (win odds were 6.68). Their squad may not have the star power or the price tags, but they’re not afraid to get stuck in and make life difficult for their opponents.
Looking at the recent head to head, these two sides played out a 1-1 draw back in March 2025. Bookmakers then had Ittihad as heavy favorites (1.162 to win), but Okhdood showed they’re capable of springing a surprise. Still, with Ittihad’s home advantage and their ability to dominate possession (an estimated 71% expected this time), the scales are heavily tipped in their favor.
The betting odds for this match are as clear as they come. A home win is priced at 1.162, a draw at 9.0, and an away win at a whopping 17.5. These numbers don’t just reflect the gulf in squad value—they also mirror the expected match dynamics. Ittihad are likely to control the game, rack up shots (19 predicted, with 6 on target), and force Okhdood to play on the break, hoping for a moment of magic or a defensive lapse.
Time to bring in the robots—well, not quite, but our AI analysis does give us some tasty tips for this encounter. The Al Ittihad vs Al Okhdood prediction from our model is a confident home win (1.162 prediction: 1), with a sky-high confidence of 10.0/10 and odds of 1.162. If you’re looking for a bit more value, the best tip is HS2+ (Ittihad to score at least two goals), also at a confidence of 10.0 and odds of 1.1625. In plain English: our AI expects Ittihad to do the business and get a couple past Okhdood’s defense.
But don’t expect a goal-fest. The under/over bet is under 3.5 goals, with a trust level of 4.0 and odds of 1.85. That fits with the predicted final score of 2:0 to Ittihad, with a 1:0 lead at the break. The stats back this up: Okhdood are only expected to muster five shots (just one on target), while Ittihad’s dominance should translate into eight corners and almost three-quarters of the possession.
So, if you’re into sports betting or just love a good stat, this match looks like a banker for the home side. But as the last head to head showed, Okhdood are capable of making things difficult. Still, with the odds, squad value, and AI predictions all pointing the same way, it’s hard to see past an Ittihad win—just don’t expect a goal avalanche.
For those looking for the best Al Ittihad vs Al Okhdood prediction, our advice is simple: back the home team to score at least two, keep things sensible on the total goals, and enjoy watching a top team do what they do best. After all, in football—and in sports betting—it’s always smart to listen to the stats, but never forget to enjoy the game.
