Al-Ahli’s Title Challenge
Asian champions Al Ahli have finally cracked it domestically. Matthias Jaissle’s side are sitting just two points behind league leaders Al Nassr at the top-of-the-table.
Al-Ittihad’s Title Defence
Al Ittihad have endured a very difficult defence of their title as they begin the match day sitting fifth in the table. A recent four match unbeaten run of form has renewed some hope for Sergio Conceicao’s side.
Prediction: A Low-Scoring Encounter
Conceicao is known for a defensive style of football and that is to be expected here against an often profligate Al Ahli side.
