Neom SC

- Neom SC have enjoyed an impressive debut campaign in the Saudi top flight so far, sitting 6th in the Profesional League 2025-2026 table after collecting 17 points from their first 10 games.
- Neom SC have not been prolific scorers but are defensively organized, and they’ve generally made up for their attacking deficiencies with disciplined and compact central blocks.
Al-Ittihad
- Recent form
- Al-Ittihad have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five, beating Nasaf Qarshi 1-0 in the AFC Champions League last time out.
- Al-Ittihad have an unbeaten away record in the Profesional League 2025/2026 (W2, D2), scoring 2.75 goals per away game.
- Al-Ittihad have endured a transitional period of their own, sitting 9th in the table after claiming 14 points from their opening nine games.
- Sergio Conceicao’s men have enjoyed a high-energy, vertical approach since his arrival in October 2025, with an AFC Champions League win already under his belt.
Key Players
- Said Benrahma is on a great run and can unlock defenses with his pace, creativity and vision.
- He has scored three of his team’s last six goals in their previous five games.
Betting Insights
- Conceicao’s side are the slight favorites, but the 2.2 odds on an away win don't really appeal given how much better Neom have played in the early stages of their top-flight existence.
- An Over 2.5 goals bet at 1.5 seems a better way to go for punters here, given the attacking records of both sides.
Prediction
A close, tactical game looks likely, but a clash between a well-drilled Neom SC and a rampant Al-Ittihad should see some goals scored.
