Al-Fayha
In their last match, Al-Fayha managed a 1-1 draw at home against Al-Raed. The team has struggled this season, securing only two wins in their last 10 league games. Currently, they sit in the lower half of the table, and they will be eager to turn things around with a strong performance against Al-Ittihad.

- They have scored no more than one goal in 5 of their last 7 home games in this competition.
- At least one of the teams failed to score in 4 of Al-Fayha's last 6 home matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Ittihad
Al-Ittihad is coming off a solid 3-0 victory over Al-Taawoun. The team is in good form, having won four of their last five league matches. They are currently in the top half of the table and are looking to continue their push for the title with another win against Al-Fayha.
- Al-Ittihad has not lost in regular time in their last 5 away matches in the Saudi Pro League (3 wins, 2 draws).

Al-Fayha vs. Al-Ittihad: Match Prediction
Al-Fayha has faced challenges this season, particularly at home, where they have struggled to secure victories. Meanwhile, Al-Ittihad has been impressive on the road and will be confident in their ability to claim another win. Given the form of both teams, I expect Al-Ittihad to come out on top in a closely contested match.
My prediction: Al-Ittihad to win
