Al-Ittihad stand alone unbeaten after seven Roshn League rounds | OneFootball

Al-Ittihad are the Roshn League’s last unbeaten side after seven rounds, sitting one point behind leaders Al-Hilal with 17 points from five wins and two draws.

Asharq Al-Awsat reports that every other early unbeaten has since slipped. Al-Ittihad handed Al-Nassr their first loss, Al-Hilal were then beaten by Neom, and Al-Khaleej fell to Al-Riyadh in round seven.

Their ledger reads 12 scored and six conceded, evidence of a team balancing threat with control. It ranks among the standout starts to the campaign.

They enter the international break in second place. Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah follow on 16, keeping the race tight at the top.

The pause offers the coaching staff a chance to reorganise and fine-tune before an October schedule that is set to be congested.

Maintain the early stability and rhythm, and pressure on Al-Hilal will only increase. Any slip from the leaders or another Al-Ittihad win could reshape the summit.
