Al-Faisaly defeated Beltinci 3:1 in a Club Friendlies match on Friday. The result adds to the visitors' impressive recent form while the hosts continue to search for consistency in their pre-season preparations.
Al-Faisaly arrive at this fixture in strong spirits. They have won their last five matches in a row, scoring fourteen goals and conceding just three along the way. The most recent was a 4:0 victory over Al-Batin on May 14th. They held their nerve in each game, closing out results with confidence.
Beltinci's recent results tell a different story. They have won three of their last five matches but also suffered two defeats. A heavy 4:0 loss to Sharjah on July 22nd was followed by a 5:2 win against Podvinci two days later. The inconsistency is visible in their scorelines — big wins balanced by heavy defeats.
The 3:1 result suggests Al-Faisaly maintained control throughout. They picked up three points without any real threat from the home side. Beltinci pulled one back but could not find a way back into the game. To be fair, this was a friendly, but the gulf in form shows through.
Al-Faisaly will make life awkward for any opponents they face next. Their confidence is high and their results are accumulating. Beltinci, meanwhile, have work to do before competitive football begins. By then they will need more stability than they have shown so far.
