Prediction Al Jabalain vs Al Fateh 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Kings Cup on 24/09/2025

Match preview: local ambitions meet Pro League unpredictability

A Kings Cup tie at the Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium in Hail on 24 September promises a spicy regional clash as Al Jabalain host Al Fateh in the Round of 32. The setting is compact — a 12,500-capacity venue that tends to amplify the momentum of a home side riding confidence. Al Jabalain arrive with a striking recent sequence of results that suggests they are entering this cup game with belief, while Al Fateh bring the rollercoaster of Pro League form that can produce both shocks and blanks.

Form guide and recent context

Al Jabalain’s loaded sequence across their latest ten shows seven wins, one draw and two defeats, a run that reads as a club on an upward curve. Their recent slate includes convincing wins against Al Batin and a high-scoring 4-2 triumph over Al Safa, though their most recent outing ended in a 1-3 reverse to Abha on 16 September. That defeat is a reminder that they can be breached, but it also highlights their willingness to play on the front foot and create chances at home.

Al Fateh’s form is more erratic: ten recent matches feature four wins, two draws and four losses. They arrive from a goalless stalemate away at Al Hazm on 20 September and have mixed results across the summer and spring, including a 4-2 defeat to Al Ittihad and an eye-catching 3-2 win over Al Nassr earlier in the calendar. Their inconsistencies make them a dangerous opponent who can both score and concede in equal measure.

The head-to-head note from last season’s Kings Cup — a 2-0 success for Al Jabalain — will not be lost on the hosts. That prior cup victory gives the home dressing room the psychological edge, and playing in Hail could magnify that advantage.

Tactical temperament will likely shape this tie. Al Jabalain’s recent attacking outputs suggest they will seek to impose themselves, while Al Fateh’s recent clean sheet and heavy defeats point to a side capable of alternating between disciplined defence and vulnerable moments against quality finishing.

Betting suggestion: 1x2 – Al Jabalain to win

Given the momentum Al Jabalain carry through recent winning runs, their home advantage at Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium, and the psychological boost from a prior cup victory over the same opponents, the most persuasive single-market pick is the home win. Al Fateh’s patchy form and mixed results increase the appeal of backing Al Jabalain to progress in this knockout encounter.
