Al Ahli SC vs Al Fateh Prediction 06.05.2026 | Saudi Pro League

Al Ahli Saudi FC approach this midweek fixture in high spirits yet with clear focus, after recently underlining their dominance on the continental stage by securing back-to-back AFC Champions League titles, an achievement that has only strengthened belief within the squad as they return to domestic duties.

Under the guidance of Matthias Jaissle, Al-Raqi have transformed King Abdullah Sports City into a formidable stronghold throughout the 2025-26 campaign, boasting an unbeaten home record of 12 wins and three draws, while averaging an impressive 2.6 goals per match in front of their supporters.

The hosts have responded emphatically to a brief dip in form, which included a 1-1 draw away to Al Fayha and a 2-0 defeat on the road against Al Nassr Riyadh, by dismantling Al Okhdood with four unanswered goals on home soil, and they remain fully aware that any signs of complacency could prove costly in their pursuit of a top-three finish.

On the team news front, Jaissle has no confirmed absentees, although the availability of Zakaria Hawsawi remains uncertain after the left-back was forced off in the 60th minute of their most recent outing due to discomfort.

On the opposite side, Al Fateh make the trip to Jeddah in a relatively calm position, currently sitting 12th in the standings, a comfortable 10 points clear of the automatic relegation zone, meaning that a victory on Wednesday would mathematically secure their top-flight status.

Completing a league double over the Jeddah giants appears a daunting task, but Jose Gomes’s side approach this encounter in revitalised form, having put together a three-match unbeaten run, edging past Al Khaleej 1-0 before grinding out draws against Al Shabab and Neom SC.

However, their away form remains a major concern, with Al Fateh managing to come out on top in just two of their opening 14 league trips this season, while a worrying average of 1.8 goals conceded per match on the road further highlights their struggles away from home.

In terms of team news, aside from 18-year-old Abdulaziz Al-Fawaz, who is sidelined with an ankle injury, Gomes has no fresh selection concerns, and the Portuguese tactician is expected to stick with the same starting XI that has shown resilience in recent weeks.
