Al Fateh hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 25 points and a 13th position in the Pro League table. Visiting Al Ittifaq holds 8th place with 35 pts.
Al Fateh and Al Ittifaq should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Al Ittifaq have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-7-17 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.
Relegation threatens Fateh who should definitely be looking for some points here. Al Ittifaq are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Al Fateh form and stats
Al Fateh have played 12 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-4 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium.
A nice win for Fateh last time playing, versus Abha. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Mohammed Naji and B. Kadrii scoring for the victors. Prior to that, an away loss at Al Hilal.
