We said: Al Fateh 2-1 Al-Taawoun
Al Fateh will be hoping to make a title challenge under the stewardship of Bilic this term, and we envisage the hosts getting the better of Al-Taawoun on home soil on Sunday afternoon.
Both sides were evenly matched in the 2022-23 term, however the experience of Fateh's Serbian boss should be enough to secure an opening-day success.
