Al Arabi average 10.2 shots (3.9 on target), 4.4 corners and 1.3 cards a game. Al-Fahaheel score 1.2 and concede 2.2 a game in their last five away, with one clean sheet and two games without a goal.

Head to head. In the last ten meetings Al Arabi have won seven, drawn three and lost none. Five of the ten went over 2.5 goals and both teams scored in four. In the last four, Al Arabi won three and one was drawn. The last time they met, on 29 Jun 2026, it finished Al Arabi 3-0 Al-Fahaheel.
Where it pulls both ways. Al-Fahaheel are the form side, but the meetings favour Al Arabi: in the last ten meetings, Al Arabi won seven and three were drawn.
The read. No side to back. An open game. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side. Their goals for and against point to an open game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 71%.
The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.18, 76% on the records (Al Arabi: over 1.5 goals in 5 of 6; Al-Fahaheel: over 1.5 goals in 5 of 5 away). Backup: 2nd Half - Over/Under: Over 0.5 at 1.16. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Al Arabi or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Al-Fahaheel or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: Al Arabi 2-1 Al-Fahaheel (9% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (an open game).
