Al Ettifaq vs Al Fateh Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

A massive 15 points separate both sides in the division.

Al Ettifaq are ready to compete against Al Fateh on matchday 20 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 edition at home. The hosts have managed to be in the ninth spot after some average performances this season. They have been able to win seven matches. Al Fateh are placed last (18) after their lacklustre performances so far.

Al Ettifaq will be confident at home as they are coming in after securing a win over Al Akhdoud in their previous league fixture. They were very good in attack and defended decently to maintain a clean sheet. The Commandos took the lead early in the game and later doubled it in the second half which helped them secure those three essential points.

Al Fateh will be super low on confidence as they have only been able to win a couple of matches in the league this season. They fell prey to Al Ahli in their last Saudi Pro League game. Al Fateh might get relegated if they will carry on with this form. They will have to win their next few matches if they want to come out and get back into safety.

Players to Watch

Georginio Wijnaldum (Al Ettifaq)

In the absence of Moussa Dembele, Georginio Wijnaldum is going to play the main role for Al Ettifaq. The Dutch midfielder has scored the same number of goals as Dembele for in the league. Georginio Wijnaldum has scored seven goals in 19 matches. From controlling the midfield to assisting in attack, he will be a key player for the hosts in their upcoming league clash.
