Neftchi Fargona vs Al-Ittihad Jeddah 26 October 2026 Prediction

Neftchi vs Al-Ittihad is scheduled for October 26, 2026. Neftchi has scored freely in recent games, though its overall form has been uneven. Al-Ittihad has also had mixed results, but its attack has improved, particularly on the road.

Neftchi

Neftchi has two wins, one draw and two losses in its last five matches. Its recent attacking output has been strong, although the listed results include a 4-2 win over Kokand, a 4-2 home loss to Lokomotiv and a 3-1 win over Pakhtakor. Neftchi has conceded in four of its last five games, so defense remains a concern.

Across those five matches, Neftchi has scored 12 goals and conceded 12. Its home results include a 2-2 draw with Khorazm and the loss to Lokomotiv. Away from home, it beat Kokand and Pakhtakor, scoring seven goals across those two games. Neftchi took 14 shots against Kokand, with seven on target. The attack is producing chances, but the team needs to defend more consistently at home.

Al-Ittihad

Al-Ittihad also has two wins, one draw and two losses in its last five matches. After defeats to Shabab Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal, it won two straight, beating Al-Ettifaq 4-1 and Al-Draih 2-0. Al-Ittihad has scored 10 goals and conceded six over the five-game stretch, giving it a better goals-for-to-goals-against record than Neftchi.

Al-Ittihad's recent away results are a 4-1 win over Al-Ettifaq, a 2-1 loss to Shabab Al-Ahli, a 3-2 loss to Al-Hilal and a 1-1 draw with Al Shamal. It scored eight goals and conceded seven in those matches. Against Al-Ettifaq, Al-Ittihad took 19 shots, put eight on target and created six big chances. Its four goals exceeded its 2.76 xG, while its two goals in its most recent game came from 0.99 xG. That finishing rate may be difficult to sustain.

Match Outlook

Neftchi has scored 12 goals in its last five matches, while Al-Ittihad has scored 10. Four of Neftchi's five games have finished with four or five total goals, and three of Al-Ittihad's five have had at least four. The supplied averages put Neftchi at one goal per game and Al-Ittihad at two. Al-Ittihad also averages 58.33% possession and 12.33 shots per game, compared with 43.5% and 11 for Neftchi. Its away scoring average is 2.5 goals per game.

Both teams have a reasonable chance to score. Neftchi's recent attacking form gives it a way into the game, but its home results have been weaker. Al-Ittihad has the edge in the supplied scoring, possession and shot averages. Its eight goals in four away matches support that case, though the seven goals it conceded make a one-sided game less likely.

Neftchi vs Al-Ittihad Prediction: Al-Ittihad to Win

Al-Ittihad's away scoring record and Neftchi's inconsistent defense make the visitors the pick. Neftchi's recent results add risk to a straight win bet, but Al-Ittihad has the better goals-for-to-goals-against record over the available matches. Prediction: Al-Ittihad to win.
