Al Fateh vs Al Ittihad Prediction

Al Fateh come into this one on the back of an extremely impressive 5-1 demolition of mid-table Al Khaleej in their most recent outing last weekend. The hosts have now collected seven points from their last three matches as they try and push away from the danger zone. They now take on an Al Ittihad side that, coached by Laurent Blanc, begin the weekend’s round of fixtures with a seven-point lead at the top-of-the-table with seven games to play. Al Ittihad haven’t been overly convincing of late and the lack of pressure from below them may not be helping so siding with Al Fateh, given their form and their home advantage, could well be a good value bet for this one.
