Al Ahli vs Al Qadsiah Prediction
Matthias Jaissle has reportedly been under pressure for his job for a couple of seasons at this stage but the former Red Bull Salzburg coach remains in charge despite speculation that Massimiliano Allegri has been lined up by the Al Ahli hierarchy. They have recovered from a 3-2 defeat at home to Al Nassr by defeating Al Gharafa by four goals to two in the AFC Champions League before then cruising past Damak by two goals to nil at the weekend. They now face an Al Qadsiah side that, following promotion last season, have been impressive throughout this campaign as they begin this match day sitting tucked inside the top three, coming into this one on the back of a comfortable 2-0 defeat of Al Okhdood the other day. Both teams scoring seems a good bet for this one between two of the stronger sides in the Saudi Pro League.
