Al-Ittihad FC vs Al-Fateh tips and predictions

Al-Ittihad FC no certainty to hold all the aces against Al-Fateh

There's not much between Al-Ittihad FC and Al-Fateh in the Saudi Professional League. The hosts are in third place with 11 points, compared to their opponents who are in ninth place on 6 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Al-Ittihad FC makes them a terrible bet. Al-Fateh don't look likely to get the job done but they can cause some problems. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go mad about.

These sides have impressed at the back. Not giving anything away, Al-Ittihad FC haven't conceded at all during their latest 3 matches. Meanwhile Al-Fateh have only conceded 0.5 goals per game on average in their last 4 away matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 6 of the last 12 have been draws.

The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Al-Ittihad FC. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that looks like a good way to extract some value here.

Al-Ittihad FC have drawn 4 of their last 10 matches, most recently when they drew 0-0 with Al-Nassr last Sunday. Al-Fateh have drawn 6 of their last 18 matches on the road. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds. A deadlock awaits after what looks set to be a close encounter.
