Al Ahli vs Al Khaleej prediction 20.01.2026 | Saudi Pro League

Al-Ahli enter this fixture in strong league form, sitting near the summit of the Pro League standings. Through 14 matches they have accumulated 38 points, recording 12 wins, 2 draws and no losses - an unbeaten home record that highlights their consistency this campaign. Matthias Jaissle’s men have enjoyed a very successful period in the Saudi Pro League, collecting five consecutive league wins that currently see them level on points with second-placed Al-Nassr.

Offensively, Al-Ahli’s attack is led by prolific forwards, with key contributors such as Ivan Toney, who recently scored his 10th league goal of the season, including strikes in four consecutive matches, underlining his central role to the club’s goalscoring threat. There are no widely reported major new injuries for Al-Ahli ahead of this clash, suggesting head coach stability and a full complement of senior attackers.

Al-Khaleej’s season has been more variable. In the current league table they occupy a mid-table position with a mixed win-draw-loss record. Over 13 matches, their results include 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats, reflecting inconsistency. Despite their lower placement in the league standings, Al-Khaleej have also embarked on a very successful run in recent weeks, recording three successive wins and remaining unbeaten in their last four games overall.

There are no confirmed reports of key injuries, though squad rotation and form will be factors given their oscillating performances. Joshua King is undoubtedly their biggest threat in attack, having already scored 13 times this season.
