In their last match, Al-Akhdoud managed a 1-1 draw away against Al-Raed. This result extended their unbeaten run in the league to three matches (1 win, 2 draws). Despite their recent resilience, Al-Akhdoud remains close to the relegation zone and needs to secure more points to ensure their top-flight status.

Al-Fateh
Al-Fateh comes into this game after a 2-0 victory over Al-Ittihad at home. This win marked their second consecutive victory in the league, showcasing their improved form. Al-Fateh is currently positioned in the mid-table and will aim to continue their upward trajectory with another solid performance.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last four away matches in the Saudi Pro League (2 draws, 2 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of Al-Fateh's last 6 away games in this tournament.

Al-Akhdoud vs. Al-Fateh: Match Prediction
Al-Akhdoud has shown resilience at home, and despite their position near the relegation zone, they have been able to secure points against formidable opponents. They will rely on their defensive solidity to earn a positive result. Meanwhile, Al-Fateh has been inconsistent on their travels, and this could be a challenging fixture for them.
Considering the current form of both teams, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
