Al Ahli will seek to boost their Saudi Pro League title chances when they play next away to Al Akhdood. Twenty points separate these two teams at the moment with Al Ahli in third place having the advantage over 12th-placed Al Akhdood. Al Akhdood sit in a precarious spot and need to secure a win here as another loss could see them drop to the relegation zone. Martin Sevela’s men, who are playing in the topflight for the first time, sit just three points above the drop. They have amassed 20 points thanks to six wins and two draws. Before the mid-season break, Al Akhdood had gone three games without a defeat and had won their last two. They will be keen to pick up from where they had left off.

Al Ahli won the reverse fixture back in August 1-0. This was on matchday three and they will be confident of at least another similar success. Matthias Jaissle’s men went into the mid-season break having not lost any of their last eight fixtures. They will be hoping to return to this form and boost further their chances of winning the title. The Royals had won five times in this run and had won three in a row before the recess. This allowed them to get back into the title picture, though they remain a long way off current leaders Al Hilal. Al Hilal have amassed 40 points thanks to 12 wins and four draws and sit 13 points off the pace.
