Head-to-Head
Al Ahli Jeddah have failed to win their last two home games against Al-Ettifaq Dammam (D1, L1).
Key Players
- Dutch playmaker Georginio Wijnaldum has been the star player this season with nine goals in 15 league games, but Khalid Al Ghannam has picked up some of the slack lately, scoring three of Al-Ettifaq’s last seven league goals.
- The wingers and creative playmakers behind the striker feed Ivan Toney with plenty of high-quality chances, which is exactly what the ex-Boro striker likes.
- Toney has been a talisman for Al Ahli, scoring 14 times in 15 league appearances and bagging seven of their last 11 goals.
Betting Insights
- Al-Ahli are clear favorites at 1.35 for this contest with Al-Ettifaq 8.0 shots, which seems about right as the hosts are the team with more talent and have a strong home record.
- However, the value is surely in the goal markets with Over 2.5 goals priced at 1.57 as Al-Ahli average 2.11 goals scored and 1.11 goals conceded at home in the league.
Prediction
Back the hosts to find a way through a compact defense with their superior attacking quality and home advantage.
