Al-Riyadh has struggled offensively, managing to score only once during this period. Currently, they are positioned in the lower half of the table and need a victory to climb up the standings.

Al-Fateh
Al-Fateh comes into this match after a 3-1 victory at home against Al-Shabab. This win marked their second consecutive triumph in the Saudi Pro League. Al-Fateh has shown attacking prowess, scoring at least two goals in each of their last three matches. They are currently in the top half of the table and are aiming to secure a place in the AFC Champions League.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last three away matches in the Saudi Pro League (1 draw, 2 losses).

Al-Riyadh vs. Al-Fateh: Match Prediction
Al-Riyadh has shown resilience at home, focusing on a strong defensive setup, while Al-Fateh has been inconsistent on the road. Al-Riyadh's home form could pose a challenge for Al-Fateh, who have struggled to find consistency away from home. Considering these factors, I expect a closely contested match with limited scoring opportunities. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
