Al-Ettifaq host Al-Faisaly in a Saudi Professional League meeting with no clear favourite on CheckLive's board. It is a game the two clubs come into from different directions, and the lack of a pick reflects how little there is between them.
Al-Ettifaq's last five league and cup results have been erratic: wins over Abha (1-0) and Al-Fateh (1-0), but a 2-3 loss to Al-Nassr and a 0-1 King's Cup defeat at Al-Jabalain. Al-Faisaly have only one point from their recent league outings, drawing 1-1 with Al-Fateh and losing to Al-Qadisiyah (1-3), Neom SC (0-2) and Al-Hilal (2-4), along with a 1-3 cup defeat at Neom SC.
The sides have met twice before, Al-Ettifaq winning one and drawing the other, with the most recent meeting ending 1-1 in May 2022. With neither team showing reliable momentum, both sides will see this as a chance to change course — and a draw would not surprise.
