Al-Ittifaq vs. Al-Fateh: Match Prediction
Al-Ittifaq's strong home form and defensive resilience will be tested against Al-Fateh's potent attack. While Al-Ittifaq has been solid at the back, they have struggled to score freely. On the other hand, Al-Fateh has shown their ability to score goals, particularly away from home. Given these dynamics, this match is likely to be closely contested, with few goals expected.
Considering all factors, my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
