Al Ittifaq vs Neom SC: match statistics
Statistical analysis indicates balanced chances for both teams. Al Ittifaq presents solid home form with 38% wins and an average of 1.5 goals per match, though their goal difference in home matches is negative (-2). Neom SC impresses with 57% away efficiency and a better average of goals scored (1.86), but their recent form is catastrophic - only 0.6 points per match in the last five meetings and four consecutive losses. A key factor is Neom's advantage in possession (53% vs 47%) and higher scoring efficiency measured by xG (1.27 vs 1.01), suggesting their offensive potential. Given the visitors' poor disposition in recent weeks and the hosts' decent form on their own turf, a draw seems the most probable scenario, though Al Ittifaq has a slight edge thanks to the home ground factor.
