The newcomer will give battle at home walls! Al-Qadisiyah vs Al-Fateh prediction
One of the matches within the first round of the Saudi Pro League will be played on Friday in Al-Khubar, where local club Al-Qadisiyah will take on Al-Fateh at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Arena. We offer a prediction for this match from a team of Dailysports experts.
Al-Qadisiyah
The club from El Hurab had a great last season in the First Division and deservedly finished on the first line, securing a promotion to the elite division. Al-Qadisiyah were nine points ahead of their main rival Al-Orub. Nasif Beyaoui's team closed the season with a seven-game unbeaten streak - five wins and two draws.
In the summer off-season, the team played a number of friendly matches, in which, let's be honest, they did not impress. So, in the first match Al-Qadisiya played a draw with Olympiacos - 2:2, then there was a defeat from Dordrecht with a minimum score of 0:1. And in their last friendly last Friday, Nassif Beyaoui's men drew again, but this time against a tough Al-Ittihad.
Al-Fateh
Slaven Bilic's side failed to qualify for the AFC Champions League last season. Al-Fateh ended up finishing only seventh in the Saudi Pro League standings. The team has 45 points at the end of the season, 20 points less than Al Ahli, which took the third place in the Champions League.
Al-Fateh finished last season with only one win out of the last six matches, and that victory was over outsider Al-Hazm. In preparation for the new season, Al-Fateh played two friendlies, in which they drew. First it was an away draw against Lokomotiv Zagreb - 1:1. And in early August, Al-Fateh hosted Al-Falij at home and drew 2-2.
