Al Ahli vs Al Fateh Prediction
As mentioned, it appeared as though Matthias Jaissle was on the verge of the sack at Al Ahli with former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri being lined up as his replacement. However, they come into this one on the back of a 3-1 defeat of Al Sadd away from home in the AFC Champions League the other day to mean they have now enjoyed four successive victories across all competitions. Al Fateh have collected four points from their last three matches in the Saudi Pro League, including a surprise stolen point against high-flying Al Qadsiah last weekend but they remain rock-bottom in the Pro League and Al Ahli, given their form and home advantage, are expected to win this one and potentially quite comfortably.
