Al-Wehda
Al-Ahli Jeddah
One of the matches of the 29th round of the Saudi Arabian Championship will be played on Tuesday at the King Abdul Aziz Stadium, where the local Al-Wehda will host Al-Ahli. I suggest betting on goals in this confrontation with good chances of success.

Match preview
Al-Wehda from Mecca continues to fight for survival in the current season of the Saudi Pro League. After 28 rounds, the team is in 15th place in the standings, ahead of the relegation zone teams only on additional criteria. However, in April, the club showed signs of improving form.
In the last five rounds, Al-Wehda secured 4 wins, including a 0-2 away victory over Al-Taawoun in the last round. These results ended a streak of nine matches without a win, during which the team suffered seven losses and drew twice.
Unlike their opponents, Al-Ahli is fighting for a top-three finish and a spot in the AFC Champions League. Currently, the team is in fourth place in the table, trailing Al-Nassr by two points. Meanwhile, Al-Qadisiyah, who are fifth due to a worse goal difference, are breathing down their necks.
In the last round, Al-Ahli hosted Al-Fayha and thrashed their opponents 5-0. Previously, the "fortress of trophies" won 2-0 away against the underdog Al-Raed. Moreover, Al-Ahli has been performing well in away games recently, with four wins in their last five away matches.
Probable lineups
- Al-Wehda: Owaisheer, Alaeli, El-Yamiq, Al-Hafith, Al-Muwallad, Bacuna, Cretu, Goodwin, Bguir, Noor, Ighalo
- Al-Ahli: Mendy, Suleiman, Ibanez, Demiral, Mahrachi, Kessie, Al-Joani, Galeno, Veiga, Mahrez, Toni
