الاہلی بمقابلہ الخلیج کلب

This Al Ahli against Al Khaleej game was due on Thursday as part of Matchday 11. It was pushed back a day because Al Khaleej could not leave Dammam. Their flight to Jeddah was cancelled after an attack on King Fahd International Airport on Wednesday evening. It is the sixth league fixture moved in two weeks for similar reasons, and Al Ahli were already affected earlier, when their meeting with Al Nassr was postponed. On the table, the hosts sit fifth with 18 points from nine games, according to the latest standings snapshot. Al Khaleej are tenth on 12 points from ten. Both won 3-2 last time out, Al Ahli against Al Fayha and the visitors against Al Fateh, so goals look likely at either end. No injury or suspension news turned up in the previews we read. The visitors face the added burden of a disrupted journey into Jeddah, and the hosts will fancy using their home ground to move closer to the top four. Our prediction: 2-1
