AL FAYHA VS AL ETTIFAQ PREDICTION
With just one victory and five goals scored in their opening seven matches of the campaign, it has been a miserable start to the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League season for Al Fayha. They now face an Al Ettifaq side that, coached by Steven Gerrard, began the season with three successive victories but have now collected just a solitary point from their last four matches. Al Ettifaq are the favourites but their poor form, as well as the overall poor quality of their opposition, means it is unlikely to be an overly entertaining affair.
