The curse of Al Hilal threatens the top of the union
Al-Ittihad achieved a great victory against Al-Hilal in the 18th round of the Roshen League, with a score of (4-1), but this victory was a negative turning point in the team’s march, where he failed to achieve any victory during three consecutive games, contenting with a draw against the Gulf, Al-Akhdoud, and Qadisiyah, which led to the reduction of the difference between him and the runner-up to 4 points only.
Al -Ittihad was able to break the curse in its fourth match, when he achieved a difficult victory against Riyadh in round 25, to return to the path of victories again.
Al -Ahly suffers after its historical victory over Al -Hilal
Al-Ahly achieved a historic victory against Al-Hilal (3-2) at the Kingdom of Arena, but then he suffered from the bleeding of the points locally, as it tied with the Gulf and lost against the groove, to lose 5 precious points that would bring him closer to the golden square, and strengthen his chances of qualifying for the Asian Champions League next season.
Despite the local obstacles, Al -Ahly continued its brilliance at the continental level, as it achieved two consecutive wins over the Qatari Rayyan in the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League.
The upcoming derby .. Does Al -Ahly break the curse?

The attention is directed towards the historical derby between Al -Ahly and Al -Ittihad, where both teams seek to restore their luster, and to end the series of negative results from which they suffered after their victory over Al -Hilal.
