Al Ettifaq – Al Khaleej preview: Team news, recent form, and probable lineups
Read the latest news and updates on both teams here, including our predicted Al Ettifaq vs Al Khaleej lineups:
Al Ettifaq
With two wins in the first two matches of the new season, including a win over Al Nassr in the opening game, Al Ettifaq showed that they shouldn't be forgotten when talking about the best teams in the countries. While their signings this summer weren't as flashy as some other teams, so far it seems that putting Steven Gerard at the helm of the team was the right move. Jordan Henderson is questionable for this match.
Al Ettifaq predicted lineup:
Victor – Yousef, Tisserand, Hendry, Khateeb – Al-Ghamdi, Ozdemir, Hazazi – Vitinho, Dembele, Quaison
Al Khaleej
Two losses in the first two rounds of the new Saudi Pro League season is obviously not a good start for Al Khaleej, especially when we consider that Al Khaleej barely survived in the top flight last time around. Meanwhile, the team remains without Fawaz Al-Torais due to a long-term injury.
Al Khaleej predicted lineup:
Sehic – Al-Owdah, Al-Shanqiti, Lopez, Rebocho – Jung, Al-Sumairi – Al Abdan, Rodrigues, Martins – Al Salem

Player to watch: Vitinho
Since we can see Al Ettifaq winning this game to continue their winning run, our player to watch comes from the home side and it is their Brazilian forward Vitinho.
The experienced striker started the new season in good rhythm, with one goal and one assist in the first two rounds. So, Al Khaleej should be wary of Vitinho in this duel.
