Saudi Professional League Clash: Al-Ahli SFC vs. Al-Feiha – A Tactical Battle Under the Floodlights

Tonight's Saudi Professional League fixture pits Al-Ahli SFC against Al-Feiha. Al-Ahli SFC, currently fourth in the league with 19 points, have been strong at home, boasting an unbeaten record of two wins and three draws. However, they are impacted by key players being away on African Cup duty. Al-Feiha, positioned in 11th with 12 points, have less pressure regarding relegation. Their away form has been poor, with three losses in their last four away games, and their attacking and defensive performances have been average. Al-Ahli SFC's home advantage and Al-Feiha's away struggles make this an interesting match-up. In their last five meetings, Al-Ahli SFC has a strong head-to-head record with four wins and one draw. Despite Al-Ahli's unbeaten home record and superior head-to-head results, the absence of key players due to the African Cup has affected their midfield and attacking efficiency. Recent home victories have been narrow, relying on penalties or long-range goals. Al-Feiha, while struggling away from home, are known for their strong defensive play and counter-attacking style. They could exploit the weakened Al-Ahli midfield with their pace on the flanks. Al-Feiha's past performances against Al-Ahli have not always been one-sided. Prediction: Al-Feiha +1.25 goals Correct score prediction: 1-1, 2-1.
