Al-Faisaly (home)
- Giovanni Solinas' hosts have played 3 home games without a win so far this term (D2, L1) and they have scored just one goal in this time, a worrying 0.33 goals per-game average.
- Al-Faisaly have been involved in some cagey contests in recent weeks, suffering a 3-1 defeat at Al Qadsiah before taking back-to-back 0-0 draws with Al Hazem and Al-Ettifaq either side of the international break.
Al-Ittihad (away)
- Al-Ittihad have conceded 0.00 goals per game away from home in the Profesional League 2026/2027.
- Jens Wissing's Al-Ittihad side have been in fantastic form this season, winning 4 and drawing 1 of their last 5 matches.
- The Tigers have played 2 away games in the 2026/2027 campaign and they have won one and drawn one, keeping a shutout in both.
Head-to-Head
Al-Ittihad won 4-0 away at Al-Faisaly in the King's Cup back in 2023/2024 , a result that could be telling here.
Key Players
- Solinas will hope that they can keep this game close by sitting deep and breaking quickly, but it will be a tall order against the likes of George Ilenikhena, who has bagged 4 goals in 5 league games and 4 of the 8 goals Al-Ittihad have managed in their last 5 fixtures.
- Abdoulaye Seck is Al-Faisaly's main goal threat with just 1 goal in 6 league matches and they will have to be clinical if they are to get on the scoreboard against Al-Ittihad.
Betting Insights
- Al-Ittihad head into their Friday night trip to Al-Faisaly's home as the favorites and at 1.7 it looks like they've already been taken up to the betting line.
- Under 2.5 goals looks a solid play at 2.62 here and both teams have not scored looks a live bet at 2.45 if Al-Ittihad's back four remain locked in and don't allow Al-Faisaly a way through.
Prediction
Al-Ittihad's quality and confidence should ultimately tell though and an away victory is the most likely result, with the likely scenario seeing the favourites control the territory and chances.
