Our prediction for the Al-Ohud vs Al-Fayha match
The "White and Blues" collected 33 points last season, which helped them survive the tough battle for relegation. Abha (32 points) and Al-Tai (31 points) were relegated, while Shevella's team finished in 15th place. Al-Fayha, on the other hand, had a solid mid-table position, with 11 wins, 44 points, and a 9th place finish.
Currently, Al-Ohud is managed by Stepan Thomas. However, there has been little progress under his guidance, with more than half of their matches ending in defeat. Nevertheless, they finished 2024 with a win over Al-Wahda in Mecca, escaping the relegation zone. This month, they lost 1-3 to Al-Nassr. Their opponent, Al-Fayha, has had a disappointing season and brought in Pedro Emanuel as head coach in November. Unfortunately, things didn’t improve under his leadership. They finished 2024 with three defeats and one draw in the league, as well as an early exit from the cup. They began January with a 1-1 draw against Al-Ittihad, one of the league's leaders.
The hosts score just over 1.2 goals per match, but concede more than 1.5. The visitors have an even worse goal record, with a ratio of 0.71/1.71.
