AL FATEH VS AL FAYHA PREDICTION
These are two of the very worst teams in the Saudi Pro League and they are both set to be involved in the relegation battle throughout the campaign. Alongside Al Khaleej, they are the two joint lowest scorers in the division with six goals apiece thus far. They have a win each and appear desperate for and devoid of any real idea of how to play. A low-scoring affair with fewer than three goals appears inevitable for this one.
