Al Raed vs Al Ahli Prediction

Al Raed begin the 27th match day of the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League season sitting rock-bottom with just five victories in their 26 matches so far this season. The hosts most recently suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Al Khaleej in a game in which they led and then conceded a 97th minute goal to Kostas Fortounis. Al Ahli were denied all three points in the Jeddah derby against league leaders Al Ittihad last weekend, conceding a 94th minute Karim Benzema strike to share a 2-2 draw. They are now winless their last three Saudi Pro League matches but really should get back on the winning track against such a poor Al Raed side.
