Al Ettifaq vs Al Fayha Prediction
Following the sacking of Steven Gerrard about a month or so ago, Al Ettifaq have enjoyed five victories and a draw in their last six matches in the Saudi Pro League. They most recently defeated Al Orubah by two goals to one as they propel themselves into the top-half of the Saudi Arabian top-flight. They now face an Al Fayha side that have been much-improved since the return from the Saudi Arabian winter break but they remain hovering just above the bottom three and the relegation places. Despite their improvement, Al Ettifaq have to be sided with here, especially with their home advantage.
