Particularly at home, where they have lost only once all season, Al Ittihad have been in spectacular form. Their latest triumph over championship contenders Al Nassr highlights their attacking strength and fortitude. Their last five games are compiled here in a table.
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | Outcome |
| 07/05/25 | SPL | Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad | 2-3 | W |

| 10/04/25 | SPL | Al Ittihad vs Al Orubah | 2-0 | W |
| 05/04/25 | SPL | Al Ahli SC vs Al Ittihad | 2-2 | D |
With four positive results in their most recent five games, Al Ittihad’s performance underlines their stability. Driven by Benzema and Kante, the comeback against Al Nassr exposes their capacity to turn events around. Their only loss highlighted uncommon weaknesses against Al Fateh. At home, they have been almost unbeatable, averaging at least two goals in most contests. Against Al Fayha, this shape renders them heavy favorites.
Al Fayha Results
Al Fayha has battled for consistency, especially on the road, as their previous 17 away game total is only three wins. Though their defensive flaws still cause some worry, their recent victory against Damac gives some hope. Their last five games are detailed in the table below.
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | Outcome |
| 02/05/25 | SPL | Al Fayha vs Damac | 2-1 | W |
| 24/04/25 | SPL | Al Orubah vs Al Fayha | 2-2 | D |
| 18/04/25 | SPL | Al Ahli SC vs Al Fayha | 5-0 | L |
| 12/04/25 | SPL | Al Fayha vs Al Qadisiya | 2-1 | W |
| 06/04/25 | SPL | Al Fayha vs Al Fateh | 1-1 | D |
Al Fayha just has two victories in their last five games, hence his results show inconsistency. Having given up 42 goals this year, their poor performance to Al Ahli revealed defensive flaws. Although their away performance is a huge issue, the victory versus Damac indicates they can contend. Dealing with the strong offensive of Al Ittihad will be difficult. They will need a tactical masterclass if they are to escape a certain loss.
Al Ittihad vs Al Fayha Head-to-Head Results
