One of the matches of the 5th round of the Saudi Pro League will take place on Friday in Al-Khobar, where local club Al-Qadisiyah will host Al-Ahli at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium. Here is the match prediction from the Dailysports experts.
Al-Qadisiyah
The club from Al-Khobar had an outstanding season in the First Division, finishing in first place and earning promotion to the elite division. Al-Qadisiyah finished nine points ahead of their main competitor, Al-Orobah. Nassif Bayaoui’s team ended the season on a seven-match unbeaten streak, with five wins and two draws.
They have also started reasonably well in the Saudi Premier League. Al-Qadisiyah has secured two wins in their four opening matches, defeating Al-Fateh (3-0) and Al-Raed (1-0). However, they lost narrowly to Al-Shabab (0-1) at home and played out a goalless draw with Al-Okhdood in the last round. Midweek, they triumphed over Al-Orobah in the King’s Cup, winning 4-1.
Al-Ahli
"The Trophy Fortress" finished third in the Premier League last season, six points ahead of their closest rival, Al-Taawoun. This season started with a loss to Al-Hilal in the Super Cup semi-final, losing on penalties. In their four opening league games, Al-Ahli secured two victories, including a win over Al-Orobah and a victory against Damac last weekend.
As a result, Al-Ahli currently occupies sixth place in the league standings after four rounds. Additionally, they kicked off their AFC Champions League campaign with a 1-0 home victory over Iran’s Persepolis. However, midweek in the King’s Cup, Al-Ahli suffered a 1-2 home defeat against Al-Jandal.
