Al-Ittihad will host Al-Hilal in a top-of-the-table Saudi Pro League matchday 21 showdown on Saturday. The People's Club will be hoping to extend their lead at the top of the table with a win against the defending champions. Here is our prediction for the match.

After a 4-1 away demolition of Al-Wehda in their last match, Al-Ittihad will aim to maintain their winning run and open a seven-point gap at the top of the table with a win over Al-Hilal. 

They have been on an impressive run in the Saudi top-flight and King's Cup games, winning 17 of their last 19 matches while losing just once. At home, a terrific 12-match winning streak in all competitions saw the team rattle off 10 straight league victories, including a 4-3 win over Al-Kholood in their last match.

Al-Hilal settled for a 1-1 draw against Al-Riyadh in their last league match, their second straight stalemate in the Saudi Pro League. They were, however, able to get back to winning ways in their midweek AFC Champions League Elite fixture, coming away with a 2-0 away victory over UAE side Al-Wasl.

Notably, despite an underwhelming league campaign compared to their matchday 21 opponents, Al-Hilal boast a superior head-to-head record. They have won eight of their last nine encounters in all competitions, including five consecutive away victories (the most recent being a 2-1 victory in Kings Cup).
