The Al Kholood vs Al Ittihad prediction for January 9, 2026, is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated fixtures in Round 14 of the Saudi Pro League. With both teams eager to make a statement at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium, fans and punters alike are searching for the best betting tips and insights. Let's break down the form, tactics, and stats before diving into our expert projections.
Al Ittihad, currently sitting in 6th place, come into this fixture with momentum on their side. Sérgio Conceição’s men have taken 12 points from their last five matches, notching up four wins and a single loss. Their attack is firing at 1.8 goals per game, while the defense has been relatively solid, conceding just one goal per match on average. In contrast, Al Kholood, 13th in the table, have struggled to find consistency. With only one win and four defeats in their last five outings, they have been leaking goals at a rate of 2.2 per match.
Looking at the head to head record, Al Ittihad have dominated this fixture. In their last three meetings, Al Ittihad have won two, with the other ending in a draw. Al Kholood have yet to taste victory against their more illustrious opponents, scoring four goals to Al Ittihad’s six. The most recent encounter saw Al Ittihad edge out Al Kholood 1-0, underlining their historical edge.
Market value also tells a story: Al Ittihad’s squad is valued at a staggering €140.35m compared to Al Kholood’s €16.75m, highlighting the gulf in resources and, arguably, quality.
Now, onto the heart of our Al Kholood vs Al Ittihad prediction. The bookmakers have set the odds at 7.75 for a home win, 5.4 for a draw, and just 1.422 for an away win. Our AI is emphatic: the best 1x2 bet is on Al Ittihad to win, with a trust score of 10.0/10 and odds of 1.422. The away side’s superior form, squad depth, and tactical organization make them overwhelming favorites.
Expect Al Ittihad to control possession (projected 65%), double Al Kholood’s shot count (16 vs. 8), and create more high-quality chances. The predicted number of corners (6 for Al Ittihad, 4 for Al Kholood) and minimal cards suggest a disciplined, attack-minded display from the visitors.
In summary, all signs point to a comfortable victory for Al Ittihad. While Al Kholood have shown they can spring a surprise—just ask Al-Ahli Jeddah—the gulf in class, recent form, and head to head record is hard to ignore. For those seeking betting tips, backing Al Ittihad to win and over 2.5 goals looks like the smartest play. Our Al Kholood vs Al Ittihad prediction: a 3-0 away win, with Benzema and company likely to put on a show.
Whether you’re a fan, a punter, or just love a good football story, keep an eye on this one. And remember, sometimes the numbers really do tell the tale.
