Al-Najma has demonstrated solid form at home, leveraging their defensive strengths to secure positive results. Meanwhile, Al-Fayha's struggles on the road could continue, given their inconsistent performances and defensive vulnerabilities. Considering these factors, I do not expect a high-scoring encounter. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
