Al Ittihad – Al Taee preview: Latest form, news, and probable lineups
Read all about the two teams ahead of their next duel here, including our predicted Al Ittihad vs Al Taee lineups:
Al Ittihad
The defending champions started the new season in Saudi Pro League with a convincing 3-0 win over Al Raed, announcing their strong claim to fight for another title. The team that brought some big names this summer like Fabinho, Kante, and Benzema certainly has the quality to finish at the top once again, even with the stronger competition this season.
Al Ittihad predicted lineup:
Grohe – Bamasud, Sharahili, Alshanqeeti, Al-Olayan – Fabinho, Kante – Hamdallah, Romarinho, Coronado – Benzema
Al Taee
After finishing tenth in Saudi Pro League last season, Al Taee will be hoping for similar outcome this time around, perhaps with a top-half finish in their sight. To their credit, the team started the new season with a minimal win over Damac at home, but now they will meet with the reinging champions in the second round.
Al Taee predicted lineup:
Braga – Alnakhli, Bauer, Roco, Qasim – Senedo, Mensah, Al Harabi – Asiri, Shamlan, Misidjan
