In a mid week match in week 4, on Wednesday Sep 14th, Al Ta’ee will host Al Fateh in a meeting of these two evenly matched Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 34 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. Al Ta’ee is fresh off their 0-4 loss against Al Shabab. Cristian Guanca struck first for Al Shabab in the 27th minute, then Aaron-Salem Boupendza added another in the 62nd minute on a penalty kick In the end, Al Ta’ee couldn’t muster any offence and Al Shabab ran away with the shutout win. Al Ta’ee is looking for direction having 2 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches, while al Fateh is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Al Hilal. Luciano Vietto struck first for Al Hilal in the 11th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Al Fateh couldn’t muster any offence and Al Hilal ran away with the shutout win. Al Fateh looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Al Ta’ee won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Al Fateh’s most prolific scorer has been Murad Batna. He has netted two goals over the last five matches. Mukhtar Ali and Knowledge Musona are the top scorers for Al Ta’ee in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
