Al-Qadsiah team overview
Last year, Al Qadsiah were amazing, finishing 4th but missing the AFC Champions League spots by a few points. This year, they are doing great once again and are in 4th place, only four points away from the top three teams. So, this match against another contender for the top 3 is crucial because it could easily decide the fate of their season. Still, they can undoubtedly be happy with their form, considering they won 12 of the past 15, with the remaining three ending in draws.
After a 4:1 win over Al Kholood, coach Brendan Rodgers spoke to the media. He was happy with the performance and the result, praising the team for their commitment throughout the game. The coach stressed the importance of continuing to improve and staying focused for the upcoming matches.

Al Ahli SC team overview
Al Ahli SC won the AFC Champions League title last year but weren't as strong in the domestic competitions. This year, they are doing great across competitions. The Royals easily reached the AFC Champions League knockout phase and the King Cup Semi-Finals, and are only two points away from the top spot in the domestic league. It will be interesting to see just how well they will do playing on multiple fronts. At the moment, they are in a fantastic form, keeping their unbeaten run over the last 17 games, while winning 15 of those.
After a 3:1 win over Al Ittihad in the Jeddah Derby, coach Matthias Jaissle spoke to the media. He was very satisfied and praised the players for executing the game plan well. The coach added that they have to keep playing well and keep the same mentality to compete for the trophies.

Prediction
Al Qadsiah have been playing well for over three months, but they seem to have found their offensive rhythm lately, scoring four goals in three of the past four games. Moreover, with 17 games over 2.5 goals in 25 league games, Al Qadsiah are the best team in the league for this type of bet.
Meanwhile, Al Ahli SC are doing a fantastic job offensively as well, scoring three or more goals in four of the past six games. To be fair, they have been really good defensively throughout the season, and because of it, they weren't as often over 2.5 goals as expected given their offensive performances. Still, in all three H2H games, these teams went over 2.5 goals with an average of 5.0 goals.
Considering all the above, we expect another high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
4 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Al Qadisiah scored four goals in three of the past four games
- Al Qadisiah went over 2.5 goals in 17 out of 25 league games
- Al Ahli SC scored three or more goals in four of the past six games
- All three H2H games ended with three or more goals
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
