Al Fateh preview: Trying to climb up from the bottom of the table

After only winning once in 12 games in the Saudi Pro League so far, Al Fateh are dead-last in the standings and are definitely the main candidate for relegation. That being said, they are still just four points behind the first team outside of the relegation zone, so a good run of form could put Al Fateh in a more favourable position before the end of the season.

When it comes to team news, Al Fateh is missing injured Mohammed Al-Fuhaid.

Predicted lineup: Szappanos (GK), Baattia, Dohaim, Saadane, Al-Konaideri, Bendebka, Al-Mousa, Al-Anazi, Zelarayan, Sbai & Al-Shurafa
