More markets for the Saudi Professional League game, scheduled for August 29 at 2:00 PM ET.
Al Ittihad enters the August 29 Saudi Pro League fixture as the stronger side, backed by superior historical head-to-head results and a deeper squad despite missing defenders Ahmed Sharahili (ankle) and Saad Al-Mousa. The Jeddah club opened its continental campaign with a 4-1 AFC Champions League Elite qualifier win over Al Jazira, while Al Fateh begins its season after a mid-table 2025-26 finish and faces early tests including a Matchweek 1 loss to Al Nassr. Al Fateh reports no significant absences, supporting a full-strength home side that has shown resilience in recent encounters, including a dramatic 2-2 draw in January 2026. Trader pricing reflects Al Ittihad’s overall edge in squad quality and recent form against the competitive but less consistent Al Fateh.
