In this week 15 match, on Fri Feb 3rd, Al Fateh hosts Al Nassr in a meeting of these two closely matched Pro League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, a perfect day for football. Al Fateh is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Al Wahda. Firas Albirakan struck first for Al Fateh in the 25th minute on a feed from Ayman Al Khulaif, then Murad Batna added another in the 3rd minute of the second half’s stoppage time At the end of 90 a dissapointed Al Wahda couldn’t manage to score, and Al Fateh took the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Al Fateh should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 1st placed Al Nassr is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Al Ittifaq. Anderson Talisca struck first for Al Nassr in the 31st minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Al Ittifaq couldn’t muster any offence and Al Nassr ran away with the shutout win. Al Nassr looks to continue their winning ways, having won 7 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Al Nassr won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Anderson Talisca has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the midfielder has scored four goals for Al Nassr. Firas Albirakan has been the most prolific scorer on Al Fateh in the last five matches with two goals.
