Al Ettifaq vs Al Fateh Prediction

As mentioned, Al Ettifaq have enjoyed a much-needed improvement following the departure of former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard. Their 2-0 win against Al Okhdood made it back-to-back victories and means they have now suffered just one loss in their last five matches. They now face an Al Fateh side that have managed just two victories in their 19 matches so far this season, most recently suffering that aforementioned 2-0 defeat to Al Ahli. Given their form and home advantage, Al Ettifaq are firm favourites for this one.
