Al Ittifaq and Al Fateh will face off in the MatchDay 9 of the South African Premier Division.
Al-Fateh is capable of scoring against Al-Ettifaq, but it’s unlikely that they will score as many goals as they might concede in this match.
Al-Ettifaq comes into this match after a goalless draw in the Professional League against Al-Ahli Saudi.
Lately, Al-Ettifaq has struggled to display defensive solidity, with opponents scoring in 5 of their last 6 matches, resulting in 8 goals conceded during that period. However, it’s uncertain whether this defensive pattern will continue in this particular game.
Last 5 Games: Won: 4, Draw: 1, Lost: 0, Scored: 14, Conceded: 5, Clean Sheets: 2.
Al-Fateh enters this match after an impressive 5-1 victory in the Professional League against Al-Wahda.
In their recent matches, Al-Fateh has been involved in high-scoring encounters, with a total of 28 goals scored in their last 6 games, averaging 4.67 goals per match. However, they have also conceded 12 goals during this period.
The Al-Fateh manager has the luxury of a fully fit squad at his disposal, with no fitness concerns to worry about ahead of this clash.
Last 5 Games: Won: 4, Draw: 0, Lost: 1, Scored: 17, Conceded: 6, Clean Sheets: 0.
The match will be played at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium.
