- Kick-off: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
- Venue: King Abdullah Sports City
Al Ahli step into Friday evening with their unbeaten run still intact, and the atmosphere at King Abdullah Sports City should feel a little charged because Al Qadsiah arrive just one point behind them. Fifth meets sixth, which already sets up a tight contest, but you might sense a small twist here. The odds lean toward Al Ahli, although Míchel’s team will remind themselves that they have gone three away matches without losing. That kind of rhythm can quietly shift the mood going into a fixture like this.

Pro League
These two clubs have crossed paths seven times since 2021, and their meetings spread across the league, Division 1, and even the Super Cup. Al Ahli had a slight edge during that spell, collecting four wins, including the last two where they ran away with a 9-2 aggregate. Al Qadsiah picked up two wins of their own, while one match finished level. If you look at the scoring trend, the games averaged 2.86 goals, which feels lively but not chaotic.
Al Ahli team overview
Al Ahli surprised quite a few people with their strong return to the Saudi Pro League in 2023 to 24 when they finished behind only Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
Matthias Jaissle’s side didn’t quite hit the same heights last season, settling for fifth, and their current campaign feels a bit uneven so far, even though they did beat Al Nassr on penalties in August for the Saudi Super Cup.
They still sit among the three teams who have avoided defeat after eight league games, although half of those matches ended in draws. Three of those stalemates came at home, which creates a slight worry for supporters ahead of Al Qadsiah’s visit.
Abdullah Otayf remains sidelined with a cruciate ligament tear, but Jaissle at least avoids any suspensions this week.

Al Qadsiah team overview
Al Qadsiah have lost only one of their eight games so far, and let’s be honest, fourth place after eight rounds is pretty impressive for a club that were in the First Division not too long ago.
There are 17 points on the board now and Míchel and co suddenly sit exactly where they did at the end of last year – only this time, that gap to second is a mere four points and finishing in the Elite will not seem quite so farfetched over Christmas.
Their history against Al Ahli tends to be a touch one-sided, but a 4-0 win over Al Kholood before the break is probably enough to put them in the right frame of mind heading into King Abdullah Sports City.
Ahmed Al Kassar has missed a long run with a shoulder injury and still does not look to be ready, while Julián Quiñones is out with hamstring trouble.

Prediction
Alahly have settled down more and more each week this season, and you can feel it in their ball movement now. They have won five of their last six games, which is something, although form can change fast in this league. With Mahrez cutting in from the right you know trouble is brewing when they attack. The visitors attempt to stay compact but lose coherence after a few phases of pressure, something the matches between these sides have recently borne out. I see this becoming a pretty open game where both sides can have opportunities, though Al Ahli has just a little more of an edge here. 2–1 home win seems the most likely.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Al Ahli have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last five matches.
- Al Qadsiah finished just one of their last five away games without conceding.
- The last two meetings between Al Ahli and Al Qadsiah produced 11 goals.
