On the 4th of February, in this week 15 match, Al Ta’ee will play host to Al Ittihad in a meeting of these two closely matched Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, a perfect day for football. Al Ta’ee is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Al Shabab. Amir Sayoud struck first for Al Ta’ee in the 9th minute, then Carlos got the equalizer for Al Shabab in the 18th minute on a feed from Al-Harbi But luckily in the 38th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Carlos. Al Ta’ee looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, Al Ittihad recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Al Feiha. Coronado scored the first goal for Al Ittihad in the 23rd minute, then Abderazak Hamdallah added another in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a penalty kick In the end, Al Feiha 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. Al Ittihad should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Abderazak Hamdallah has been the most prolific scorer on Al Ittihad in the last 5 matches with three goals. Al Ta’ee is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Guy Mbenza Kamboleke and Amir Sayoud each having 2 goals in their last 5.
