After the triumphant last season, Al-Ittihad relaxed and this year he will no longer be able to compete, not only for the championship, but at least for getting into the top 3. After 25 rounds played, Sergio Conceicau’s men are only in sixth place in the standings, 19 points behind Al-Hilal in third place. The maximum that the team can achieve is to get to fifth place, because the gap from it is only two points.
