Prediction Al Ittihad vs Al Fateh 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Pro League on 12/09/2025

Game outlook: Ittihad’s firepower meets Fateh’s resilience

Al Ittihad return to the Alinma Stadium in Mecca on September 12 buoyed by a summer of goals and a domestic season that has already shown their attacking promise. Their most recent competitive outing produced an eye-catching 5-2 win at Al Akhdoud, and the numbers supplied underline a side that creates chances in abundance: 16 total shots with 10 on target in their last measured run, 12 attempts from inside the box and an average of seven corners. Those are the sorts of figures that tilt matches in their favour, particularly when the bookmakers are as decisive as they are here — the home win is trading at 1.40 with an implied probability north of 70%.

Al Fateh arrive with a mixed bag of results but enough bite to remain a thorn. Their recent domestic results include a narrow 1-2 defeat to Al-Fayha, but across the last ten outings they show five wins and two draws, demonstrating the capacity to overturn expectations. Statistically they have been competitive in attack as well, averaging 12 shots with five on target and dangerous attacks averaging 71. Still, their opening Pro League fixture left them on the wrong side of a 1-2 scoreline and their league position sits down the table at 12th while Ittihad sit second — momentum clearly favouring the hosts.

Tactical edge and recent head-to-head

Tactically, Al Ittihad’s recent matches suggest a side willing to press and commit men forward; 110 average attacks and 59 dangerous attacks indicate sustained pressure. Al Fateh counter with a slightly higher attacks average (113) but fewer shots on target overall. The most recent Pro League clash between these sides (April) saw Al Fateh win 2-0 at home — a reminder that surprises can happen — but the context now feels different. Ittihad’s front line has produced eye-catching performances, and their home stadium, with nearly 64,200 capacity at King Abdul Aziz Sports City, provides the backdrop for a strong crowd-backed display.

Prediction and betting suggestion

This looks like a fixture where quality, recent goal output and home advantage combine to make Al Ittihad the clear favourite. The market concurs; the home win price is tight but fair given the form and underlying shot metrics. For bettors deciding between match-winner and goal markets, the clearest value on the data provided is to back the hosts in the 1X2 market.

Betting suggestion: Back Al Ittihad to win (Home) in the 1X2 market at odds of 1.40.
