Al Ettifaq vs Al Faisaly Prediction 8 September 2026

Al-Faisaly are in a far more difficult position: the visitors sit second-bottom and are still without a win this season. Al-Ittifaq need to consolidate their place in the upper part of the table, while Al-Faisaly are already in need of points to begin climbing out of the relegation zone.

Head-to-head statistics Al Ettifaq - Al Faisaly
Al Ettifaq Team Overview
Al-Ittifaq have picked up nine points from five matches and sit eighth. Over their last ten matches, the team have averaged 1.5 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per game, so they maintain a reasonable balance between attack and defence. In their previous five matches, Al-Ittifaq won two and lost three, which points to decent results alongside a degree of inconsistency. Their home matches have been particularly high-scoring - at least three goals were scored in six of their last seven games at their own ground.
Match Results: Al Ettifaq
Al Faisaly Team Overview
Al-Faisaly have picked up just two points from their opening five matches and sit 17th, still without a win this season. Over their last ten matches they have won four, but the current start is a clear step down from that longer-run form. In those five league games they are averaging just 0.8 goals scored and 2 conceded per match, pointing to problems at both ends of the pitch. Three defeats and two draws to open the campaign makes for uncomfortable reading ahead of a trip to Al-Ittifaq.

Total Goals Prediction
Total Goals - Under 3.5 has landed in seven consecutive head-to-head meetings between these two sides, pointing to a traditionally moderate scoring pattern in their encounters. Al Faisaly average 0.8 goals per season, while Al-Ittifaq average 1.6, which also gives little reason to expect a high-scoring game. In their last 10 matches, Al-Ittifaq have been conceding 1.3 goals per game on average and Al Faisaly 1.4, which fits a moderate-scoring scenario. On that basis, Total Goals - Under 3.5 at 1.51* looks a reasonable bet.
Reliable Bet
Total Goals - Under 4.5 has landed in 9 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings between these sides at Al-Ittifaq's ground. Given the average scoring rates of both teams this season and in their recent matches, going over that mark looks unlikely. This bet is backed by a consistent trend and low average scoring on both sides. The odds on this option are around 1.2*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely scorelines are 1-1 (9.49%), 2-1 (8.83%) and 2-2 (7.03%). The 1-1 draw has the highest probability, though the gap between all three options is fairly small. This reflects an expectation of a relatively even and moderately high-scoring match.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Al-Ittifak are clear favourites for this match, and that looks a reasonable assessment given Al-Faisaly's poor start to the season. The visitors are not only struggling for results but have also been weak in attack at this venue: they scored fewer than two goals in eight of their last nine head-to-head meetings at Al-Ittifak's ground. Given the current form of both sides, the hosts have a good chance of keeping their opponents quiet again. Our pick is Al-Faisaly Team Total - Under 1.5.
