Al Ahli – Al Akhdoud preview: Recent form, team news, and possible lineups
Read all about these teams and their latest news ahead of their duel here, including our predicted Al Ahli vs Al Akhdoud lineups:
Al Ahli
Despite being a newly-promoted team, it was clear from the signings made this summer that Al Ahli will be among the teams fighting for the top finish and probably a title in Saudi Pro League. This was proven right so far as they started the season with a couple of wins in the first two rounds. Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino remains questionable with an injury after missing the last match.
Al Ahli predicted lineup:
Mendy – Majrashi, Ibanez, Hindi, Alioski – Aljohani, Kessie – Mahrez, Boudebouz, Saint-Maximin – Al-Rashidi
Al Akhdoud
With one point from the first two games of the new Saudi Pro League season, Al Akhdoud didn't have the best of starts. Still, as a newly promoted team, their only goal is to stay up in the top flight and we've seem some glimpses of quality in those two matches from Al Akhdoud, especially in their opening match against Al Shabab, where they managed to avoid a loss. Meanwhile, Collado will miss this game through suspension, while Juan Pedroza is doubtful with an injury.
Al Akhdoud predicted lineup:
Vitor – Faraj, Kvirkvelia, Burca, Al Zabdani – Jahif, Al Muwallad – Al-Harthi, Tanase, Al Shaikh – Mostafa

Al Akhdoud
Player to watch: Riyad Mahrez
Al Ahli already proved in the last round that they can keep winning even with Roberto Firmino sidelined with an injury and his absence, the biggest offensive load falls on Riyad Mahrez.
The Algerian winger has a lot of experience from Premier League and is certainly one of the best players in Saudi Pro League now, which he proved so far with one goal and one assist in the first two matches.
