Al Ahli vs Pakhtakor prediction
Following the departure of Matthias Jaissle to Newcastle United over the summer after he led Al Ahli to successive AFC Champions League trophies, the hosts have underwhelmed in the Saudi Pro League thus far this season.
Pakhtakor come into this one on the back of a comfortable 3-1 defeat of AGMK in their most recent outing. The Uzbeks sit second in the Uzbekistan Super League, chasing Neftchi Fergana after 21 matches of the campaign.
Al Ahli have been unconvincing so far this season but they should still come out on top here with their home advantage in Saudi Arabia.
Al Ahli vs Pakhtakor tip: Al Ahli to win & under 3.5 goals
