Al-Fateh limps into their clash with Al-Ittihad winless in five league games. Despite this slump, they cling to a respectable mid-table position thanks to their earlier season form (8 wins, 7 draws, 8 losses). Determined to turn things around, they face a daunting task against a strong Al-Ittihad side. Can Al-Fateh defy the odds and snatch a result, or will their winless streak continue?

Al-Ittihad successfully bounced back to winning ways with a victory against Al-Akhdoud in their most recent league game. Al-Ittihad will now be hoping to continue in winning ways as they take in Al-Fateh on Saturday. Additionally, Al-Ittihad was eliminated from the AFC Champions League by Al-Hilal earlier this week with a 4-0 aggregate score across both legs. 

Despite recent hurdles, Al-Ittihad's season commenced positively, and they are determined to maintain their confidence. They boast an impressive overall league record of twelve wins, five draws, and seven losses in their 23 games.

A critical look at their last 11 encounters produced 6 wins for Ittihad, 3 draws, and 2 wins for Fateh.

Certainly, Al-Fateh has maintained a consistent scoring record throughout this season, making them a tough opponent. On the other hand, Al-Ittihad is in excellent form and is considered the favorite for this matchup. However, our focus will be on the goal-scoring possibilities in this game, given that their last 8 encounters have witnessed a total of over 2.5 goals. Given the recent form of both teams, it's likely that we'll see over 2.5 goals scored in this match. Their first leg encounter ended in a 2-1 victory to Al-Ittihad further proving their offensive capabilities. 

Furthermore, when these two teams have faced each other, they have displayed a strong scoring record, with both sides finding the net in 9 out of their last 10 encounters. Betting on "Both Teams to Score" (BTTS) at odds of 1.60 appears appealing.
