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

The Tigers dominated the proceedings when these sides last met.

Al Fayha are all set to lock horns with Al Ittihad for their matchweek 5 fixture of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League season. This is going to be an entertaining game to look at and is scheduled to take place at the Al Majma’a Sport City Stadium.

Al Fayha have started their season on a mediocre note. They have won two of their four league matches of the 2025-26 campaign.

Al Fayha club are coming in after securing three points against Al Najma in their previous league fixture. For their next clash, they will be at home, but it is not going to make things easier for them.

The defending champions of the Saudi Pro League are coming in after facing a defeat at the hands of Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Al Nassr in their last league contest. Al Ittihad looked in poor touch as they defended poorly and failed to score any goals.

The Tigers have not been able to perform as per their standards. Sergio Conceicao is the new head coach for Al Ittihad. It will be interesting to see the changes made by him.

Players to Watch

Alfa Semedo (Al Fayha)

In four league matches for Al Fayha this season, Alfa Semedo has scored two goals and also has an assist to his name. The 28-year-old will be looking to step up so that he can help his side stand a chance against the Tigers. It is not going to be an easy fixture for the hosts, but a special performance from Semedo can majorly benefit them.

Karim Benzema (Al Ittihad)

Even though the Frenchman failed to net any goals for Al Ittihad in his last two appearances, he remains one of their main men in the attacking front. Karim Benzema has scored three goals in two Saudi League appearances this season. He will be looking to find the net this time around.
