Al Ittihad will end their Saudi Pro League season with an away match against Al Nassr on Monday. Despite Al Nassr securing second place, Al Ittihad can climb to fourth with a victory. Al Nassr's recent draw with Al Riyadh saw Aymeric Laporte sent off, but Otavio Edmilson's goal salvaged a 2-2 draw. Al Nassr enters the game on a seven-game unbeaten streak, with only one loss in their last 12 matches. Their home form has been strong, with three wins in the last four matches. In their previous encounter, Al Nassr defeated Al Ittihad 5-2, ending a 12-game winless streak against them.
Al Ittihad's season hasn't matched their expectations despite their investment. Their current tally of 54 points falls far below last year's 72-point title-winning total. They can't drop lower in the standings but aim to secure third place, trailing Al Taawuon by two points. With 11 losses, they top the list among the top six teams. Their recent form includes one win in six matches, but they've gathered four points from their last two games. Maintaining a consistent scoring record, they've only failed to score once in their last nine matches. However, their away form is concerning, with just three wins in their last 12 away matches.
