Al-Khaleej
- By contrast, Al-Khaleej are having an up-and-down season under Poyet, who took over in April 2026 and has not yet settled on a system or personnel that make them regular winners.
- Joshua King, who has scored 19 league goals in 27 appearances, is their best attacking weapon with the Norwegian hitting five of Al-Khaleej’s last six goals.
- Al-Khaleej have lost 3 consecutive matches and failed to win their last 2 home games against Al Ahli.
Al Ahli Jeddah
- Al Ahli Jeddah have won 4 consecutive matches.
- The Al-Jeddah club have been a force to be reckoned with since Jaissle took over in July 2023, the German’s aggressive style having transformed them into a serious continental contender.
- Ivan Toney is their talisman and his 31 goals in 30 league appearances this term is some feat, but Al-Ahli are a cohesive unit with each player knowing their role and carrying it out with the highest level of intensity.
Head-to-Head
- Al-Ahli Jeddah dominated the latest meeting between these two sides in the Profesional League 2025/2026 three months ago, running out 4-1 winners at home.
- Al-Ahli have won 2 and drawn 1 of the last 3 head-to-heads in the 2025-26 campaign.

Betting Insights
- A high-scoring game is anticipated here, with Al-Khaleej scoring 1.69 goals and conceding the same average when playing at home, but Al-Ahli are disciplined enough to come away with the win and clean sheet.
- Odds for an Al-Ahli away win at 1.45 are on the short side, but there is enough value in Over 2.5 goals at 1.62 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.98 to make the game selection worth having a play on.
Prediction
Backing Al-Ahli to do the same again is the obvious play here with Jaissle’s side in much better form than Al-Khaleej and with superior head-to-head records on and off the field.
