Al Ahli SC has faced ongoing difficulties in their top-tier away matches, losing 12 out of their last 18 games on the road and managing only two points from their most recent eight away fixtures. In contrast, Al Ittihad, who are in the race for the title, have shown strong form at home, achieving 12 wins out of 18 matches in the Saudi Professional League.
Al Ittihad’s home games have been far from dull, with 14 of their last 18 matches featuring at least three goals. Similarly, 12 of Al Ahli SC’s previous 14 away games have ended with over 2.5 goals, making it likely that this clash will be a high-scoring one.
This season, Al Ahli SC has scored an impressive 67 goals across 18 games, netting in every match and with both teams scoring in their last five league fixtures. Al Ittihad has also proven effective in front of goal, scoring in all but four of their 18 league matches.
Prediction
Al Ahli SC’s recent away form in the Saudi Professional League has been challenging, with only two points from their last 18 available and failing to score in five of those games. Al Ittihad, on the other hand, has seen success with seven wins in their last ten home games, suggesting a positive trend.
Prediction: Al Ittihad 2 : 1 Al Ahli SC
