Head-to-Head

Al Ahli Jeddah

Betting Insights
- Ahli are the clear favorites for this game at 1.81, but Al-Shabab aren't far behind at 3.8 and the odds on the draw are an unattractive 3.95.
- That's why this game should be wide open and there are likely to be goals in the game, with Over 2.5 at 1.5 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.45 appearing quite attractive.
Prediction
- Al-Ahli will be the likeliest winner, but this is a meeting of two very different styles of football and the firepower of Al-Ahli should make the difference.
- The White Lions will look to get the game into a game of transition, but Ahli will try and control the ball and punish any space in behind, so expect a lively, open contest with chances at both ends.
