Al-Ahli vs Al Fateh SC

Al Ahli sit third in the Saudi Pro League, five points behind leaders Al Nassr with the title race entering its final stretch. This Round 28 home clash against a struggling Al Fateh side is a must-win for the Jeddah club.

The hosts have been a fortress at home — nine wins and a draw in their last ten home matches — and winter signing Galeno has injected pace and goals since arriving from Porto in January. Defender Merih Demiral misses out through injury. Al Fateh arrive in poor form, with just one win in their last five and no victories in five away games, having suffered defeats to Al Hilal, Al Taawoun, and Al Ettifaq.

Al Ahli's head-to-head dominance — 18 wins to Al Fateh's 11 across 35 meetings — combined with the visitors' dire away record points firmly to a comfortable home victory. Our prediction: 2-0
