**Jeddah, Saudi Arabia:** Al Ittihad, hot on the heels of reigning champions Al Hilal, are looking to secure a second consecutive win in the Saudi Pro League this Thursday against Al Akhdoud.
The Karim Benzema-led side will be confident going into the match, having triumphed 4-1 over Al-Khaleej in their last outing. The Frenchman, who netted the opening goal in that victory, continues to impress, having scored six goals in five matches this season.
Despite Al Akhdoud securing a much-needed win over Al Fateh in their last match, they face a daunting task against an Al Ittihad side that has a perfect record against them.
The odds heavily favor Al Ittihad, and many are predicting a comfortable victory for the title contenders.
