Al Fateh SC vs NEOM SC

A relegation-threatened Al Fateh host mid-table Neom SC on Matchday 31 of the Saudi Pro League, with three points potentially pivotal for both sides' end-of-season ambitions. The hosts sit 13th with just 32 points, while the visitors occupy a far more comfortable 8th place with 40. Both sides arrive off draws in their most recent outings. Al Fateh, guided by manager José Gomes, drew 1-1 with Al Shabab, with Fernando Pacheco their standout performer this term. Neom SC under Christophe Galtier also shared the spoils 1-1 against Al Hazem, leaning on Amadou Koné to provide their attacking threat. Al Fateh can draw confidence from the last head-to-head — a 1-0 win that hands Gomes's side a psychological edge at home. But Neom SC's superior standing, stronger recent form, and respectable away record tip the balance in their favour. Our prediction: 1-2
