Diriyah vs Al Ahli prediction
Facing newly promoted opposition in the first round of league fixtures is always a tough prospect when considering the momentum in their favour following the conclusion of the previous campaign. Especially when taking into account that Al Ahli have a new head coach. Matthias Jaissle’s departure for Premier League side Newcastle United has led to Marino Pusic taking the reins.
It may take time for Pusic to implement his style of play on this Al Ahli squad and despite having superior players on paper, this could prove a real banana skin against a Diriyah team full of confidence and with home advantage in their favour. With that in mind, consider backing the hosts to pick up at least a point if not all three via the double chance market.
Diriyah vs Al Ahli tip: Double chance - Diriyah/draw
