The Saudi Pro League serves up a fascinating fixture as Al Fateh welcomes Al Kholood to the Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium on January 20, 1.926, at 17:30 GMT. If you’re searching for an in-depth Al Fateh vs Al Kholood prediction, you’ve come to the right place. With both teams eager to climb the table, this match promises drama, tactical battles, and plenty of sports betting intrigue.
Al Fateh, currently in the top half of the Pro League table, have shown resilience and attacking intent this season. Sitting 9th or 10th with 20 or 21 points, their record of six wins, two draws, and six losses reflects a team capable of both brilliance and inconsistency. Their home form is a real asset—four wins from seven matches—making them a tough nut to crack in Al-Ahsa.
Recent form is encouraging for the home side: a six-match unbeaten streak and a strong run of four wins and a draw in their last five. Their most recent outing, a 1-1 draw with Al Najma, underlines their ability to grind out results even when not at their best. Notably, Al Fateh pulled off a shock 2-1 win over Al Ahli SC in late December 1.925, defying the betting odds of 5.3 and showcasing their potential to surprise.
Al Kholood, meanwhile, are feeling the heat near the relegation zone. With just 12 points from 14 matches (four wins, no draws, ten defeats), their away record is worrying: two wins and five losses. Defensive lapses have cost them dearly, conceding 27 goals while scoring 19. Their recent form is poor—one win and four defeats in their last five, including a 1-0 home loss to Al Ahli. The head to head record is limited, but Al Kholood have the psychological edge, having won their last meeting 2-1 and never losing to Al Fateh in two previous encounters.
On the tactical front, Al Fateh under José Gomes are organized and proactive, often controlling possession and creating chances from wide areas. Al Kholood, led by Noureddine Zekri, are in a rebuilding phase, focusing on defensive solidity but still prone to lapses. Injuries appear minimal for both squads, though Al Kholood may miss Abdullah Sufuq Fadl Al Fadani due to suspension.
Let’s break down the Al Fateh vs Al Kholood prediction from a sports betting perspective. The betting odds favor the home side, with Al Fateh priced at 1.92 for the win, a draw at 4.0, and an Al Kholood away win at 4.0. The market reflects Al Fateh’s superior form and home advantage, but also respects Al Kholood’s ability to spring a surprise.
Statistically, the home side is projected to control 53% of possession, with 13 shots (4 on target) compared to Al Kholood’s 11 shots (also 4 on target). Expect a lively game with both teams pushing for goals. Corners are forecasted at six apiece, while Al Fateh’s aggressive style may see them pick up two yellow cards to Al Kholood’s none.
Both teams are fairly matched in terms of squad value—Al Fateh at €20.20m and Al Kholood at €16.75m—but the home team’s recent results and tactical discipline give them the edge. The last head to head ended 1-1, but Al Fateh’s recent momentum suggests they’re ready to break their winless streak against their visitors.
For those who enjoy correct score betting, a 2:1 result in favor of Al Fateh fits the statistical and tactical profile of this match. Expect a competitive first half (1:1 at the break), with the home side pulling ahead after the interval.
In summary, the Al Fateh vs Al Kholood prediction leans toward a home win, but a draw cannot be ruled out given the head to head history. Al Fateh’s recent unbeaten streak, tactical organization, and home advantage make them the smart pick in the betting odds. Al Kholood’s defensive issues and poor away form further tilt the balance. For sports betting fans, the 1X market is the safest play, while the home win offers enticing value for those willing to take a bit more risk. Over 1.5 goals is a logical addition to any accumulator.
With both teams eager to make a statement, expect a lively, open contest with plenty of goalmouth action. Whether you’re a seasoned punter or a casual fan, this fixture is one to watch—and one to bet on with confidence.
