Al Ahli has always been the team with the dominance in this fixture. The home side has only managed to win once in their last 5 encounters.
Key Statistics
Al Ahli have started the league season with two wins from two, scoring five goals and conceding none. They have also won their last five matches across competitions.
Al Kholood are unbeaten in their opening league matches but have drawn three of their last five.
Their defensive record is respectable, but Al Ahli's attacking numbers and current momentum make the visitors the stronger selection.
Team News
Al Ahli's attacking department is particularly well stocked, with Ivan Toney already established as the principal reference point.
The English striker has reportedly scored 10 goals across his last 10 matches, making him the major individual threat for Al Kholood's defence.
Al Kholood have shown enough squad availability to compete, but their schedule has been demanding, including a King Cup match in which they scored five.
The concern is whether they can maintain their defensive concentration against an Al Ahli side that has scored freely.
Prediction Analysis
Al Ahli has a good start to the season and their goalscoring form should be enough to see at least 2 goals scored in this match.
I will back over 1.5 goals and for those who want to be bold, an Al Ahli win is possible.
