How to watch Al Ittihad vs Al Fateh Live?

Defending champions Al Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League are back in action in gameweek two against Al Fateh at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah on Friday. Laurent Blanc's side began the defence of their title with a commanding 5-2 victory over Al Okhdood, whilst Al Fateh lost away from home by a score of 2-1 to Al Fayha. This match has all the makings for goals, star power, and drama as Karim Benzema, Steven Bergwijn, and N'Golo Kante lead the hosts while Al Fateh tries to upset and grab a rare away win.

Form Guide

Al Ittihad have bounced back emphatically following their loss in the Saudi Super Cup against Al-Nassr, demolishing Al Okhdood to send a statement. Benzema's hat-trick and Bergwijn's goal and assist showed the firepower that Blanc has in his arsenal. The Jeddah giants have 15 wins from 22 matches in 2025, lost only twice, and last season were nearly impenetrable at home, taking a solitary point from 17 league matches.
Al Fateh came into the match also under pressure. A 2-1 defeat at Al Fayha highlighted some defensive problems, and losing Amine Sbai to suspension does not help their cause. That said, Jose Gomes's men did beat Al Ittihad once in 2025, and records indicate that they are a team capable of surprises, although their last victory on the road in Jeddah came back in 2013, so they really are the underdogs.

Team News

Al Ittihad: Predrag Rajkovic is the only player unavailable due to a muscle injury. Laurent Blanc will otherwise have a fit playing group, with Benzema, Bergwijn, and Moussa Diaby set to make up the front trio.
Al Fateh: Amine Sbai is suspended following his red card last week. Mourad Batna and Sofiane Bendebka will shoulder the attacking deployment alongside Zaydou Youssouf, who scored in their opening game.

Match Preview

For Al Ittihad, their home match record is unequaled. Last season, they won 16 of their 17 home matches and, with the loud and passionate crowd in Jeddah at their back, Blanc will want to establish early control and pile pressure onto an Al Fateh side that can be disorganised in conceding.
Al Fateh will use their recent cup victory over Ittihad earlier in 2025 as a source of confidence. If Al Fateh manages to cope with Benzema and then takes advantage of any quick counter-attacking chances offered to Batna and Vargas, they could create some problems for Ittihad. However, the champions will be favorites to come out on top with Kante and Fabinho as their shield in midfield, and Benzema playing at the top of his game.
