Statistical model based on expected goals (xG), results and match statistics from the last two seasons. For information only.
Al-Fateh and Al Shabab last met in April and shared a 1-1 draw. The same stubbornness may be needed when they meet again in Hasa on Thursday, with the hosts looking for their first real step away from the bottom of the table.
Al-Fateh’s fight to leave the bottom three
Al-Fateh sit 16th of 18 in the Pro League with six points from ten matches and a goal difference of -11. Every league game from here carries weight for a side that has spent much of the season looking over its shoulder. Al Shabab are 13th with eight points from nine games and a goal difference of -2, so they are safer but still far from comfortable.
Form: a difficult run for Hasa, steady but unspectacular visitors
Al-Fateh’s latest sequence reads LWLLL, and this season they have won once, drawn three times and lost six. Their goals have dried up, with nine scored in ten league games, while they have conceded 20. Al Shabab have been harder to beat than to beat, collecting five draws in nine matches. Their latest five results read DWDLL, and they have scored 11 times while conceding 13.
Head-to-head: recent meetings have rarely been comfortable
Across the last five meetings, Al-Fateh have won twice, Al Shabab once and two games have ended level. The most recent was the 1-1 draw in April, following a 2-0 Al-Fateh win in January. Earlier, Al-Fateh beat Al Shabab 3-1 in May 2025, while Al Shabab took a 3-2 win in May 2024 and the sides drew 2-2 in December 2024.
Our prediction
PreviaXI’s model slightly favours Al Shabab, and the numbers suggest a close game with goals on the cards. Al-Fateh have been the more fragile side defensively this season, and their attack has struggled to produce consistently, which makes a narrow away win plausible. Al-Fateh will have chances to hurt the visitors, especially with the home crowd behind them, but Al Shabab’s greater control in recent meetings should carry them over the line.
Al-Fateh 1-2 Al Shabab
