Na big match dey come this Sunday as Al-Ittihad go clash with Al-Najma for Al Inma Stadium.
Fans dey expect say Al-Ittihad go show dem wetin dem sabi after di champions don suffer small this season. E no too dey sweet for dem as dem dey sit for sixth position for di table.
Last season, dem win di league title well well, but this season, na so-so wahala dem dey face. From di 18 matches, dem don win only nine, draw four, and lose five. Di gap between dem and di league leaders Al-Hilal don reach 15 points, and dis one fit disturb dem small.
When dem start di season, dem win three matches straight, but later dem enter one big winless gidi gidi of five matches. After dem sabi adjust dem game, dem run six matches without losing, but di title defence don dey shaky for ground.
Al-Najma, on di other hand, na di bottom of di league table, dem dey search for di first win for dis season. After 18 matches, dem never fit win any, just dey manage five draws and 13 losses. Dem don concede plenty goals—37 to be precise—while dem only score 18.
As dem dey go face Al-Ittihad, e no go easy for dem at all. Dem dey seven points away from safety, and gunners fit don dey disturbi dem for mind as dem dey prepare for di match.
For Al-Ittihad line-up, dem go likely roll out Rajkovic for goal position, with defense line wey include Al-Shanqiti, Pereira, Kadesh, and Mitaj. For midfield, Kante and Fabinho go dey run di show, while Diaby and Al-Shehri dey front form di attacking trio.
But Al-Najma nor go get di chance to use Mohammed Al-Kunaydiri as him dey sidelined with injury. Nasser Al-Haleel go return to di team as him don recover from injury, and Hisham Al Dubais go lead di line for dem.
With di kind form wey Al-Ittihad get, dem fit gree record another win against Al-Najma wey no too dey perform well. Bookmakers don dey predict say dem go win by 2-0, and e fit happen like dat if dem no take time. So, abeg make dem no slack for this one!
