ℹ️ Team News: Al-Orobah

Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Al-Orobah manager to contend with. Fahad Al-Rashidi (Rib fracture) won’t be playing here.

⚡ Prediction

We’re thinking that Al-Fateh should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the other end, Al-Orobah might well find it a difficult task to score although we do think it’s probable that they will be hitting back at some stage here.

We can therefore see a decent 3-1 winning score for Al-Fateh when the full-time whistle blows.
