Al Ittihad are usually dominant against Al Fateh as they have won five of the last six H2H matches. Interestingly, the only game Al Ittihad didn't win in the span is the last one, when Al Fateh won 2-0. Another interesting fact about Al Ittihad and Al Fateh H2H matches is that three of the previous four games ended with three or fewer goals.
Al Ittihad team overview
Last season, Al Ittihad won their tenth Saudi Arabian title. However, Al Hilal and some other teams improved significantly this summer, so Laurent Blanc's team will have difficulty repeating the previous year's success. Al Ittihad started the season with a defeat in the Super Cup against Al Nassr. However, in the Saudi Professional League opening round, Al Ittihad won 5-2 on the road against Al Okhdood. The guests dominated throughout the game and secured all three points.
During the international break, Al Ittihad agreed to a few transfers. They signed Roger Fernandes (who came from Braga) and Mahamadou Doumbia (Antwerp). Al Ittihad are also working on the transfers of Jan-Carlo Simic (Anderlecht) and Goncalo Inacio (Sporting CP).
One of the most important Al Ittihad players in the previous year was goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic, who conceded only 27 goals in 28 matches. Serbian had surgery in June, so he skipped the preseason, Super Cup, and the opening league round. However, Rajkovic returned to training a few days ago and is in contention for the clash against Al Fateh.

Al Fateh team overview
Al Fateh last season ended tenth on the table. They seem to be on a similar level in the 2025/26 season, too, so another mid-table finish should be realistic. Al Fateh started the new season with a 2-1 defeat at the home stadium against Al Fayha. The home side finished the match with an xG of 0.56, while the guests had 2.05, so it is no wonder Al Fateh stayed empty-handed. If Jose Gomes' team allows so many chances to Al Ittihad, they could lose heavily on Friday night.
Al Fateh are also active in the transfer market. They signed Fernando Pacheco, who came from Espanyol in the previous days.

Prediction
Although Al Fateh won against Al Ittihad in the most recent H2H match, it is clear that Laurent Blanc's team is much better. Al Fateh lost against Al Fayha in the opening league round, but what worries even more is the number of chances they allowed. Al Ittihad, on the other hand, scored five goals in the match against Al Okhood. We should expect Al Ittihad to win and cover AH -1.5 spread in the upcoming clash.
4 Reasons why Al Ittihad should win and cover AH -1.5 spread
- Al Ittihad started the season with a 5-2 win
- Al Fateh began the season with a 2-1 defeat
- Al Ittihad won five of the last six H2H matches against Al Fateh
- Last season, Al Ittihad at the home stadium won 2-0 against Al Fateh
