Al-Fateh will host Al-Hilal at the Prince Abdullah Bin Jalawi Stadium on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Saudi Professional League campaign.
The home side endured a slow start to their season but have found good form of late and are now pushing for the continental spots in the table. They beat Al-Raed 2-1 in their last match, with Tawfiq Buhumaid and former Barcelona man Cristian Tello getting on the scoresheet in the first half before their opponents scored a consolation goal midway through the second.
Al-Fateh sit fourth in the league table with 23 points from 11 games. They are six points behind their weekend opponents at the top of the pile and will be looking to reduce that gap on Friday.
Al-Hilal have performed brilliantly in the Saudi Pro League this season and will fancy themselves early title favorites. They beat Al-Ahli 3-1 in their last league outing via first-half strikes from Serbian duo Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Aleksandar Mitrovic before Roger Ibanez scored a second-half own goal to hand the Blue Waves all three points.
