Al Fateh and Al-Nassr bring their 2024-25 Saudi Professional League campaign to an end when they lock horns at the Al Fateh Club Stadium on Monday. Having failed to win the last eight meetings between the two teams, Jose Manuel Gomes’ men will head into the season finale looking to get one over the hosts and close out the campaign on a high.
Moroccan midfielder Mourad Batna grabbed the headlines for Al Fateh as he netted in the second half to hand them a narrow 1-0 victory over Damac on Thursday.
Before that, Gomes’ side saw their six-game unbeaten run come to an end courtesy of a 1-0 defeat against Al-Wehda on May 10, six days before losing 4-3 against Al-Hilal on home turf.
Al Fateh have picked up 36 points from their 33 Professional League matches so far to sit 12th in the standings, just five points above the relegation zone heading into the season finale.
