Al Fateh vs Al Ahli Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

The Royals emerged victorious when these sides last faced each other.

Al Fateh are now going to take on Al Ahli for their gameweek 10 fixture of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. This is going to be an entertaining outing, which is going to take place at the Maydan Tamweel Aloula.

The hosts are on a poor run of form, and this can become an issue for them going forward. They are in 17th place on the league table and are likely to struggle in their next match as well.

Al Fateh have only won one of their first nine games of the league campaign. They need to come up with better performances if they want to bounce out of the relegation zone.

Al Ahli are placed fourth on the Saudi Pro League points table. They have won five of the nine matches and are looking good at the moment.

The Royals have secured a win in both of their last two league outings and will be keen to work on that momentum. Despite being away from home, they will feel confident.
