Al-Ahli will compete with Al-Riyadh as part of the 12th round of the Saudi Professional League. The match will take place at Prince Abdullah al-Faisal Stadium in Jeddah on November 5 and will start at 19:00 CET.

Al-Ahli

Al-Ahli worked seriously on the transfer market in the previous summer: the team was replenished with Edouard Mendy, Kessié, Saint-Maximin, Firmino, Mahrez – all of them could now play in the UEFA Champions League, but made their choice in favour of Saudi Arabia.

The higher mentioned transfer work has not brought immediate results so far, but Al-Ahli is confidently at the top of the table. At the same time, the density in the Pro League table is serious, and the gap from the leader is 7 points. If the team continues to concede a lot and alternates victories and defeats, then it will not be possible to aim at fighting for the championship title.

Al-Riyadh

The team was promoted at the end of the previous season and returned to the top division after an 18-year absence. Speaking about the Division 1, Al-Riyadh finished only in 4th place. After the expansion of the Pro League to 18 teams, the club has the opportunity to return to the elite of Saudi football. If we look through the prism of transfers, there is no one to highlight except the signing of the Betis striker, Juanmi, for 8 million euros.

The start turned out to be pretty good. The team has got 3 wins and 2 draws after 11 matches, which allows it to occupy 12th place, but only 4 points from the relegation zone.

Interesting facts and the statistics of head-to-head matches

• Al-Ahli is unbeaten at home in 7 matches in a row – 6 wins and a draw.
• Al-Riyadh has won only 1 away game in the current season, but it scores regularly.
• The rival drew only once in Jeddah.

Prediction

The opponents perform completely different tasks and have the players of completely different levels. Al-Ahli should confidently take the victory. I bet on the hosts’ triumph with “a -1.5 goal handicap”.
