Al Fateh sit bottom of the table with a single point from three games, while Al Ittihad arrive second, unbeaten and in strong early form. Jens Wissing’s side have already put five goals past Al Fateh in their last head-to-head meeting, and the visiting attack looks sharper than ever this term.

For Al Fateh, midfielder Lukáš Haraslín is their only scorer across the last five games and carries the creative burden almost alone. Hot stat: Al Ittihad have scored 12 goals across their last five matches, averaging 2.4 per game, while Al Fateh managed just one goal over the same period.

Al Fateh vs Al Ittihad Prediction
Al Ittihad are the clear pick here. They arrive unbeaten in three Saudi Pro League games, carry the league’s second-best points tally, and have outscored Al Fateh 6-4 across their last two head-to-head meetings. Al Fateh have not won in their last five competitive matches, and their attack has produced just one goal in that stretch. The gap in quality is wide enough to back Al Ittihad on the moneyline at odds around 1.88-1.90.
In terms of style, Al Fateh commit fouls frequently (52 across five matches) but lack the defensive structure to compensate, as their 47 interceptions came with just one goal scored. Al Ittihad are equally physical with 53 fouls, yet their pass accuracy of 1,342 out of 1,576 attempted passes reflects a more controlled, possession-based approach. That combination of discipline and forward quality should translate into another comfortable win for the visitors. Al Ittihad also carry two red cards from their recent run, so a degree of caution exists at the back, but it has not cost them results.

| ⚽Total Goals: | Over 2.5 |

Team Analysis
Al Fateh have been poor across their recent run, collecting one draw and four losses in their last five outings. Coach Khaled Al-Atwi’s side were beaten 0-3 by Al Nassr and 0-3 by Al Ula before that, with their only goal in this stretch coming in a 1-1 draw against Al-Faisaly. Their 53 total shots across five games sounds reasonable on paper, but a 1.19 shots-per-goal ratio tells a different story about conversion. The squad is struggling with consistency in the final third, and the defensive line has conceded nine goals across their last three league games.
Al Ittihad have been dominant, winning four of their last seven matches with two draws and one loss. Their most recent game was a 3-2 win over Al-Hazem, following a 1-0 victory against Al Qadsiah and a 3-0 rout of Al Najma before that. George Ilenikhena has chipped in with three goals from limited minutes, supporting Bergwijn’s five-goal haul. The only blemish in recent weeks was a 1-1 draw with Al Kholood, but Wissing’s team have responded well each time and look settled in their 4-2-3-1 shape.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Al Ittihad the Favourite
- Moneyline Al Fateh 3.52 | Al Ittihad 1.90
- Draw 3.88
- Over/Under Over 2.5 — | Under 2.5 —
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes — | No —
Pinnacle’s line of 1.90 on Al Ittihad reflects the 50% bookmaker probability estimate, and to be honest, that feels slightly generous given the form gap. Al Fateh at 3.52 carries implied value only if you believe they can replicate their 2025/26 home draw result, but their current squad output does not support that case. The draw at 3.88 is a trap given Al Fateh’s inability to score consistently. Al Ittihad win is the only logical play.

Possible Starting Lineups
Al Fateh Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Waled Al-Enazi
- DF: Kennedy Boateng, Abdul Rahman Al Khaibari, Abdulelah Al Khaibari, Saeed Baattia
- MF: Zaydou Youssouf, Marwane Saadane, Mihai Lixandru, Abdul Aziz Al-Fawaz, Lukáš Haraslín
- FW: Mourad Batna
Al Fateh have been consistent in their 4-1-4-1 shape, with Waled Al-Enazi as the undisputed starter between the posts. Kennedy Boateng anchors the right side of defence and has been one of the more reliable performers. Lukáš Haraslín is the key man in the midfield band, the team’s only scorer in recent weeks, and he will need to create something from limited service. Zaydou Youssouf provides the deeper midfield control, while Mourad Batna leads the line despite a goalless run.
Al Ittihad Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Predrag Rajković
- DF: Faris Abdi, Jan-Carlo Simić, Stephane Keller, Hassan Kadesh
- MF: Dion Lopy, Houssem Aouar, Rakan Al-Kaabi, Ahmed Al-Ghamdi
- FW: Steven Bergwijn, Youssef En-Nesyri
Predrag Rajković has started every game and made 17 saves across five matches, giving Al Ittihad a reliable last line. The 4-2-3-1 shifts to a more fluid 4-2-2-2 in possession, with Houssem Aouar acting as the creative engine behind Bergwijn and En-Nesyri. Bergwijn is the standout name, five goals in five games, and he should cause serious problems for Al Fateh’s backline. Danilo Pereira adds physicality from deeper positions, and Jan-Carlo Simić has been solid in build-up from the back.

We predict an Al Ittihad win, most likely by two or more goals, with Bergwijn in prime position to add to his tally.
