Al Fateh

vs

Al Ahli Jeddah

Preview

Al Fateh (home)

• Jose Gomes has instilled a defensive style onto Al Fateh since taking over in December 2024, preferring to keep things compact, block deep and hit on the counter-attack with the 4-2-3-1 system.
• There’s nothing flashy about them and Sofiane Bendebka’s 3 goals in 8 league games is the best they’ve managed in front of goal, so it might be a long season for Al Fateh in 17th place with just five points from nine games.
• Al Fateh have won just 1 of their 4 home games in the 2025/2026 season, L3.

Al Ahli Jeddah (away)

• The Jeddah outfit have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches in all competitions, including a King’s Cup win after a dramatic penalty shootout last weekend.
• Al Ahli Jeddah are flying high in fourth place with 19 points from their 9 games so far.
