Hot Tip – Over 3.5 Goals
- Four of the last five meetings between these two clubs have produced over 3.5 goals.
- At least four goals have been scored in four of Al Ahli's last league games.
Another reason that we have backed over 3.5 goals as our main prediction is that three of Al Khaleej's last six matches have produced over 3.5 goals.

Al Ahli vs Al Khaleej team news
Al Ahli
Al Ahli cruised to all three points away at Al Hazm last time out. Top scorer Riyad Mahrez broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage-time and Gabri Veiga made it 2-0 shortly before the hour mark. Feras Al Brikan scored a third goal for the visitors nine minutes from time and in stoppage time, Turkish international Merih Demiral made it 4-0.
Rayan Hamidou picked up a knock in that game and looks set to be replaced by Demiral in the starting lineup for the Al Khaleej game.
Predicted Lineup: Mendy (GK), Ibañez, Majrashi, Yaslam, Demiral, Késsié, Al Majhad, Veiga, Mahrez, Saint-Maximin & Al Brikan
Al Khaleej
Al Khaleej made light work of Al Fayha in their last league game. Jung Woo-Young fired the home side in front after twenty-one minutes and a penalty from Khaled Narey made it 2-0 at the interval. The second half proved much tighter but an own goal from Sami Al Khaibari late on made the final scoreline 3-0 to Al Khaleej.
Al Khaleej have a clean bill of health and no suspended players for the trip to Al Ahli this week.
Predicted Lineup: Šehić (GK), López, Rebocho, Al Khabrani, Al Hamsal, Jung, Hawsawi, Rodrigues, Martins, Narey & Sherif

Player to Watch: Allan Saint-Maximin
Allan Saint-Maximin didn't produce enough end product during his days in the Premier League with Newcastle but the French winger has been providing plenty of goalscoring opportunities for his Al Ahli teammates.
Saint-Maximin, 26, has chipped in with three league goals so far this season but leads the way when it comes to assists for Al Ahli, setting up eight goals in the Saudi Pro League alone. We're backing the former Newcastle man to impress once again on Friday, helping to guide Al Ahli to yet another three points.
