Al-Fayha vs Al-Faisaly FC Prediction

Two very different form reads

Al-Fayha's longer sample is mostly Pro League and friendly games, and it's not pretty reading: four wins from twenty, with ten losses and more goals conceded than scored. That's a side that's been leaking goals regularly.

Al-Fayha: 20 completed matches; Al-Faisaly FC: 20 completed matches.

Al-Faisaly's twenty-game sample shows twelve wins, but a large portion of those games were played in Division 1 rather than this season's Pro League. Their actual top-flight form this term, reflected in the standings, is much more modest than that overall record suggests.

The gap in the raw numbers is bigger than the gap between these two sides right now.

Comparative Team Statistics: Al-Fayha vs Al-Faisaly FC

History doesn't offer much to go on

These two have met eight times stretching back to 2017, with the most recent meeting a goalless draw back in February 2022. The head-to-head record is fairly balanced across that span, with no side dominating.

Given how long ago most of those meetings happened, this history says very little about how either side will play out this specific fixture.

Both clubs are short on points so far

Al-Fayha sit 12th after seven games, with six points from one win, three draws and three defeats. Al-Faisaly are down in 16th, on three points from seven games, without a win yet this season.

Neither table position points to a side in good shape, and the gap between them in the standings is only a handful of points.

With Al-Fayha carrying the extra three points and a touch more consistency, home advantage could be the difference-maker.

A couple of Al-Faisaly names picking up cards

Mohammed Ali Al Shanqiti has picked up three yellow cards in seven matches for Al-Faisaly, while teammate Eid Al Muwallad has one yellow in six appearances. It's not dramatic, but it's a reminder that squad details are worth keeping an eye on in a game between two sides short on form.

What this one might look like

With Al-Fayha's defence leaking goals and Al-Faisaly struggling to find the back of the net in the Pro League so far, goals could be hard to come by for either side. A low-scoring, tight affair wouldn't be a surprise given where both clubs currently stand.
