Home - Al Ahli Jeddah
- Al Ahli Jeddah are undefeated at home in the Saudi Arabian Profesional League, W11, D3 in 14 matches.
- Al-Ahli enter the clash in great form, having won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
- Al Ahli Jeddah are having a strong season, currently third in the Profesional League 2025/2026 table with 66 points from 29 games.
- This fixture carries an extra edge this season as Al Ahli are the newly crowned AFC Champions League Elite winners.
Away - Al Fateh
- Jose Gomes has a much more pragmatic, compact and flexible approach at Al Fateh.
- He can set his side up in a number of different formations, but the foundation of their game is always the same; a compact defensive block that tries to be strong on the counter-attack down the wings.
- The visitors are in mixed form, winning 1, drawing 2 and losing 2 of their last 5 games.
- Al-Fateh’s recent away league form is poor, however, with no wins from their last 2 trips to Jeddah and a record of W2, D5 and L7 from 14 away matches.
Head-to-Head
That price is a bit low for Al-Ahli, given Al Fateh have won 3 of the last 5 meetings between the clubs, drawing the other.
Key Players
- Ivan Toney is Al-Ahli’s talisman with 27 league goals from 28 appearances this term and 2 goals in their last 5.
- He will be closely marked by the visitors, who will look to Mourad Batna for a similar talismanic role.
- The Algerian has 9 league goals from 27 games this term, but is a better passer than finisher and his teammates may need to look elsewhere for goals this week with Sofiane Bendebka having scored 2 in his last 5.
