The gap at the top
Al-Qadisiyah’s 2-1 win away to Al-Fayha in May is the latest chapter in a rivalry that has recently favoured the visitors’ hosts this time around. Another meeting now presents a clear favourite-versus-underdog test: Al-Qadisiyah are second in the Pro League with 28 points from 12 matches, while Al-Fayha are 13th with 11. The gap is 17 points and 11 places.
Al-Qadisiyah’s sharper run
Both teams come into the match off a league win, but their recent records point in different directions. Al-Qadisiyah have won four of their last five league matches, scoring 16 goals and conceding four. Their wider league record is nine wins, one draw and two defeats, with 32 goals scored.
Al-Fayha have taken one win, two draws and two defeats across their last five, scoring nine and conceding nine. They have two wins in 12 league matches overall, and their away record is a particular concern: three draws and three defeats from six trips, with only four goals scored.
A recent edge for the visitors
Al-Qadisiyah have won four of the last five meetings, with Al-Fayha winning the other and no draws. The most recent encounter ended 2-1 to Al-Qadisiyah at Al-Fayha in May. The sequence also includes a 5-0 Al-Qadisiyah home win in January, though two of those five meetings had two goals or fewer.
Home strength, away challenge
Al-Qadisiyah’s overall form is impressive, but their home results offer Al-Fayha a possible route into the contest. They have three wins, one draw and two defeats in six home league matches, and have conceded 11 goals there without keeping a clean sheet.
Al-Fayha have managed only four goals in six away league matches. Their latest league result was a win, however, and they will look to make the hosts’ imperfect home defensive record count.
Our prediction
Al-Qadisiyah’s scoring form, league position and head-to-head advantage make them the clear favourites. Al-Fayha’s away struggles point to a difficult task, while the hosts’ recent defensive improvement supports a controlled home win.
