Despite having only 37.3% possession, Al Fateh capitalized on their chances, converting six of their 13 shots on target, while Al Shabab struggled to convert their 16 shots, with only three hitting the target.
The AI-powered pre-game prediction correctly anticipated an Al Fateh win, although it was expected to be a balanced game. This victory continues Al Fateh's strong form, building on recent wins against Al Ittihad and Al Khaleej, contrasting with their draw against Al Riyadh. Al Fateh seems well-prepared for their upcoming match against Al Wehda, especially considering their recent strong offensive performances and Al Wehda's inconsistent form. Al Shabab, on the other hand, has shown inconsistency, with recent draws against Al Hilal and Al Okhdood mixed with a win over Al Kholood. The red card will add some extra pressure on Al Shabab in the next game against Al Ahli. This game showed that Al Fateh can be very effective when they have space and the ability to counterattack, something Al Shabab did not take into account.
Looking at previous head-to-head matches, Al Fateh and Al Shabab have had tightly contested encounters, with several draws and close victories. Al Fateh's ability to convert early chances in this match proved to be the key difference compared to their previous draw against Al Shabab, where both teams scored 2 goals.
