Al Ahli team overview
Al Ahli SC have wasted no time in asserting their ambition for the 2025-26 campaign, setting their sights on all possible silverware, a determination highlighted by their Super Cup victory against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr Riyadh, which they clinched in a dramatic penalty shootout.
The league campaign has begun at a slower pace for Al Malaki, as they narrowly edged out Neom thanks to Ivan Toney’s lone goal and were subsequently forced to settle for a stalemate with Al Ettifaq.
In the lead-up to a high-octane showdown against Al Hilal, Matthias Jaissle’s squad generated a perfect atmosphere at King Abdullah Sports City by mounting an impressive midweek turnaround, clawing back from two goals down to comprehensively defeat Nasar Qarshi in the AFC Champions League curtain-raiser.
The only player missing from Friday’s match will be defensive midfielder Abdullah Otayf, who is sidelined for an extended period due to a serious ligament injury, though he isn’t a key part of Jaissle’s system.

Al Hilal team overview
Saudi Arabia’s most decorated club, Al Hilal, boasting 21 league titles, are desperate to reclaim the domestic crown after finishing last season as runners-up, eight points adrift of champions Al Ittihad FC.
In the transfer market, the Blue Waves once again made headlines by securing Theo Hernandez from AC Milan and bolstering their attack with Darwin Nunez, while appointing former Inter boss Simone Inzaghi as manager, a clear signal of their lofty ambitions.
After a comfortable two-goal triumph over Al Riyadh to kick off the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League, the Riyadh side were left frustrated by a 2-2 stalemate against Al Qadisiya, a result that feels harsh given their dominance throughout the match and an impressive 3.44 xG.
Centre-back Hassan Tambakti (knee) and captain Salem Al-Dawsari (hamstring) are the only players confirmed to miss Friday’s high-profile clash, while Joao Cancelo will undergo further tests after being substituted in the 40th minute against Al Duhail midweek.

Prediction
While the outcome of this heavyweight clash is difficult to call, both teams boast potent attacking threats, making BTTS a highly appealing option. Recent head-to-head encounters reinforce this view, with both nets rattled in each of the last nine meetings, suggesting the high-scoring trend is likely to continue. Al Hilal boasts high-caliber forwards like Darwin Nunez and Malcom, capable of breaching any defense, but Al Ahli’s attacking threat cannot be overlooked, making it hard to imagine a clash without goals at both ends.
Four Reasons we expect BTTS
- Al Ahli have scored an impressive nine goals in their last three matches.
- Al Ahli have kept a clean sheet only once in their last four home games.
- Al Hilal have netted at least two goals in each of their first three competitive matches.
- Nine drawn encounters between the two sides have all ended with both teams scoring.
