**Al-Ittihad rolls into Abha on a four-win streak to face a team in total freefall.** This feels less like a match and more like a coronation — the Jeddah giants have barely put a foot wrong, while the hosts are staring down 4L in 5. 🔥

Abha's leaky defense has conceded 9 goals in those last three games alone. Al-Ittihad just demolished Al-Ettifaq 4-1 and pushed Al-Hilal to the brink. Even missing key bodies, the visitors' offensive firepower should run riot.

Key storylines:

- **M. Batshuayi** leads Abha's attack against a backline that's suffocating teams right now
- **Y. En-Nesyri** and **A. Mukhtar** spearhead Al-Ittihad's in-form attack; they'll smell blood early
- Home desperation vs. road confidence — Abha *need* points but momentum is all with the visitors

Expected lineups:

- **Abha**: A. A. Bouq, J. Gaari, A. Al-Fahad, A. Diallo, D. Léon, F. Al-Ghamdi, N. Fekir, A. Darisi, N. Al-Daajani, A. Gory, M. Batshuayi
- **Al-Ittihad**: P. Rajković, A. Faris, D. Pereira, J. Simić, M. Shanqeeti, D. Lopy, A. Mukhtar, S. Bergwijn, H. Aouar, A. Al-Ghamdi, Y. En-Nesyri

Prediction:

**Al-Ittihad 3–0 Abha.** The visitors have too much class and momentum; Abha can't stop the bleeding.
