Al Ahli Saudi will aim to secure a fourth consecutive win for the first time since May when they host Al Riyadh in the top flight of Saudi Arabia's league system on Thursday evening. The two teams are currently six points apart, with Al Ahli Saudi in fifth place and Al Riyadh sitting just three places above the relegation zone. According to the bookmakers, Al Ahli Saudi have a greater than 95% chance of winning this match, but Javier Calleja’s team will be feeling confident after winning their last league game.

The two sides have met seven times since 2019: four times in the Saudi Pro League, twice in Division 1, and once in the King's Cup. Al Ahli Saudi dominated the series, winning five games and also kept five clean sheets in the process. Al Riyadh won the other two fixtures, with an average of 2.86 goals scored per game.
Al Ahli team overview
Al Ahli are one of three teams yet to be defeated in the Saudi Pro League this season, having drawn three and won three of their six games so far.
The Classy Ones have also avoided defeat in all cup competitions, including the King Cup of Champions, which they reached the quarter-finals of earlier this week, and the Super Cup, in which they drew 2:2 with Al Nassr.
Matthias Jaissle’s team are preparing for Thursday’s game on the back of three consecutive wins with clean sheets in each game, making them the clear favourites.
Abdullah Otayf has been out since September 2023 due to a cruciate ligament injury and is not expected to be available this week. The hosts' injury list also includes Valentin Atangana, who has been dealing with a muscle problem.

Al Riyadh team overview
Meanwhile, Al Riyadh have already suffered five defeats this season, including a 5-1 loss to Al Nassr on Matchday 3 of the league campaign, and a 2-0 loss to Al Fateh in the round of 16 of the King Cup of Champions on Monday.
Javier Calleja’s men have won two Saudi Pro League games this season, but neither of these were away matches. They have lost all three games on the road, conceding eleven goals while scoring only twice.
Milan Borjan was unavailable the last time out due to a muscle problem and will miss this week's game as well, but the visitors have no suspensions.

Prediction
Boasting a win in each of their last three games and in three of their last four league meetings with Al Riyadh, everything speaks in favour of Al Ahli Saudi. The Classy Ones are taking on an Al Riyadh side that has lost all three of its away league games this season, conceding eleven goals in the process. I am therefore expecting a high-scoring game that could end 3:0 in favour of the home side.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Four of the last seven games of Al Riradh ended with over 2.5 goals.
- Five of the last eight games of Al Ahli produced three or more goals.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in three of the last four meetings between Al Ahli and Al Riradh.
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
