Al Ittihad will have a chance to win the league title today, Monday, if they beat Al Hilal by two goals in the Clasico.
According to the league regulations, the highest points are crowned with the title, and in case of equality of two teams in the number of points, they resort to direct confrontations between them.
Al-Hilal won the first goal without a response, and Al-Ittihad could have settled the direct clashes in his favor if he had completed the Clasico in his favor, with two goals.
Al-Ittihad’s victory today extends the gap with Al-Hilal to 9 points, with 64 points compared to Al-Hilal’s 55 with three games left in the league.
And assuming Al-Hilal wins the remaining three matches, his score will be 64 and Al-Ittihad loses three matches, his score will stop at 64, direct confrontations are resorted to, preference is given to the Dean if he ends today’s match in his favor , with a difference of two goals, having lost the first round with one goal, he is declared the champion of the league.
This scenario was repeated in 2008, when Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal were level on points (48 points each), and the leader crowned the title by returning to direct confrontations, where the two teams drew in the first round (0 – 0), while Al-Hilal won the second round (1-0).
