Al Fateh vs Al Ahli prediction, odds and how to watch

NEOM SC put in a commanding home performance to beat Al Fateh 4-2 in the Saudi Pro League, with Alexandre Lacazette and substitute Valentín Vada among the scorers in a match that was never really in doubt despite Al Fateh's occasional moments.

Al Ahli were far too good for Al Hazm on Friday night, with Ivan Toney and Francisco Trincão combining to put the game to bed before half-time. Al Hazm had no answer for a side that created nine big chances and dominated every meaningful statistic.

Al Draih took all three points at Al Fateh thanks to two converted penalties, with Al Fateh's Faisal Al-Abdulwahed pulling one back but ultimately unable to rescue a side that has now won just once in their last ten Saudi Pro League matches.

Al Kholood produced one of the most unlikely results of the Saudi Pro League campaign, beating a previously dominant Al Ahli 3-1 despite being outplayed for large portions of the match. The numbers told one story. The scoreboard told another.

Tijjani Reijnders scored twice, including a header deep into first-half stoppage time, as Al-Qadsiah held off a determined Ivan Toney fightback to win 3-2 against Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Fateh dominated Al Ittihad in every measurable way but could not find a winner in a goalless Saudi Pro League draw, hitting the woodwork three times and missing four big chances in a performance that will haunt their players for days.

Al Ahli head into Thursday's Saudi Pro League clash having lost three of their last five, while Al Nassr arrive with seven wins from their last ten. Something has to give.

Al Hazm host Al Fateh on Thursday 15 October in a Saudi Pro League fixture that two struggling sides simply cannot afford to lose. Neither team has looked convincing in recent weeks, and something has to give.
