Preview

Match preview

Al-Fateh host Al-Ittihad FC at the Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium in matchday 4 of the Saudi Pro League. The hosts enter this encounter struggling for early-season momentum, sitting 15th in the standings with just one point from their opening three league fixtures (one draw and two defeats). Scoring has been a primary concern for Al-Fateh, having netted only once across their three league outings while conceding five goals.

In contrast, Al-Ittihad FC have enjoyed a positive start to their campaign, occupying 2nd place with seven points from three matches (two wins and one draw). The visitors have displayed reliable attacking output, averaging 1.7 goals per league match, spearheaded by S. Bergwijn who has registered three goals and one assist in the early stages of the season.

Historically, this fixture tends to tilt towards Al-Ittihad, who have claimed victory in seven of the last ten head-to-head encounters, with the sides averaging 4.6 total goals per meeting across that sample. Given the contrast in recent league form and attacking efficiency, the visitors hold the statistical edge coming into this match.

Double Chance

Al-Ittihad FC or Draw

82%

Confidence

Al-Ittihad FC come into this fixture unbeaten in their first three league matches (two wins and one draw), scoring five goals in that span. Al-Fateh remain winless in league play (one draw, two defeats) and have managed just one goal in three games. Head-to-head history also heavily favours Al-Ittihad, who have avoided defeat in nine of the last ten meetings (seven wins, two draws). Taking the Double Chance on Al-Ittihad or Draw provides strong coverage against potential stalemate risk away from home.
