Al Ahli vs Al-Ettifaq FC Betting Tips - Al Ahli to Win/Over 2.5 Goals
Al-Ahli will be looking to maintain their impressive winning form when they host Al-Ettifaq in Friday's Saudi League fixture.
Matthias Jaissleis's side come into Friday's fixture after a comprehensive 4:1 win against Al Kholood on Saturday. Ivan Toney´s late penalty put the seal on a straight-forward victory for the Royals.
Placed fifth in the division, the hosts have enjoyed an excellent run of results, picking up eight wins while losing just one of their last nine league fixtures.
High-scoring home victories have been a regular occurrence for Al Ahli. Jaissleis's side picked up wins in nine of their last 12 home games at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium, while eight of their last ten games at this venue saw a minimum of three goals scored.
Al-Etifaq make the trip to Jeddah having now failed to win seven of their last nine league games after a goalless draw with Damac last weekend. Saad Al Shehri's men.
On the road, Saad Al Shehri's men have picked up just one point from their last four away fixtures, and now find themselves seventh in the division, a full twenty points behind the home side.
Al Ahli boast a strong recent record in this fixture, particularly in home fixtures, with victories claimed in seven of nine previous encounters in Jeddah. Considering recent form, a similar outcome seems likely this weekend.
A home win is my best bet at Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium.
