Al-Fateh vs Al-Riyadh prediction and betting tips on May 2, 2024
Game Prediction
On May 2, 2024, as part of the 30th round of the Saudi Pro League, Al-Fateh will host Al-Riyadh. The guests are fighting for survival and will try to win against a strong but unmotivated team.
Key statistics and trends:
- The hosts score slightly more often than once per hour and have a positive difference between goals scored and conceded.
- After 9 home games without a win, Tello and his team won twice in a row at home.
- Both of the guests' recent away matches ended in a 0-1 scoreline
Al-Fateh - Form analysis: The team picked up form too late.
The "Sons of the Palms" started with a couple of wins but then only won 1 match out of the next 13. It wasn't until late March that Slaven Bilic's team started playing well again. They won against Al-Wahda away and got maximum points against Al-Ittifaq and Al-Raed at home. However, Al-Hilal is currently too strong; losing 1-3 to them away didn't surprise anyone.
Al-Riyadh - Form analysis: The club will find it difficult to avoid relegation.
The "Red and Blacks" finished fourth in the second division last season. However, the Pro League expanded from 16 to 18 teams, and they took advantage of that. But it's unlikely they'll stay long; as predicted, the newcomer is among the bottom teams. They couldn't win at home this calendar year, and their last 7 away matches brought only 1 win and 4 points. Perhaps Al-Ahli underestimated their opponent and lost 1-2, with the decisive goal coming in the 84th minute.
