Recent results emphasises Al-Ahli’s recent advantage in direct fixtures; in the last meeting between the sides, Al-Ahli ran out 1-0 winners. In general, this fixture is evenly balanced, with neither team able to string together a series of consecutive wins, as they tend to cancel each other out on most occasions.
Al-Ahli team overview
Al-Ahli arrive at Round 25 in strong form, boasting the league’s best defensive record with just 15 goals conceded in 24 matches. The hosts are currently on a prolonged winning streak in the Saudi Pro League, having won five consecutive matches since a goalless draw in early February. However, their most recent victories over Damac and Al Riyadh were narrow, with both ending in 1-0 scorelines.
Key to their campaign has been Ivan Toney, who leads the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League scoring charts with 23 goals, narrowly ahead of rivals such as Julian Quiñones and Cristiano Ronaldo, and driving Al-Ahli’s efficiency in attack.

Al-Ittihad team overview
Al-Ittihad entered the 2025/26 campaign as reigning champions, having clinched the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League title under the guidance of experienced personnel. However, this season’s league form has been more mixed: with 42 points they sit outside the top-four and are unlikely to challenge the top three of Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal.
Al-Ittihad’s recent league form has been inconsistent - swings between wins, draws, and notable defeats highlight instability that could influence this derby. Still, they have gone four games unbeaten in recent matchweeks and, despite being nearly 20 points behind Al-Ahli ahead of Friday’s meeting, such a prolonged unbeaten run could provide a confidence boost.
