Saudi Professional League Showdown: Al-Ahli SFC Seek to Rebound Against Al-Feiha in a Crucial League Encounter. Can the Home Side Secure a Vital Victory on Their Turf?
Yesterday's column achieved a record of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 void from 5 selections, demonstrating continued stability. Tonight's schedule features several matches, with focus on a Saudi Professional League fixture between Al-Ahli SFC and Al-Feiha. Al-Ahli SFC lost 1-2 away to Al-Fateh in the previous round, holding a record of 5 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss after 10 rounds, placing them in 4th position. Al-Feiha drew 0-0 at home against Al-Hazem in their last match, currently in 11th place with a record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses after 10 rounds. In the last 10 official matches between the two teams, Al-Ahli SFC has a record of 8 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Al-Ahli SFC's performance this season has been acceptable, currently ranking high in the standings. Their loss in the last league match was due to their involvement in the AFC Champions League, but they previously maintained a good run of 12 unbeaten matches, so their recent form is not bad. Playing at home this round, they are definitely capable of bouncing back. Although midfielders Kessie and winger Mahrez are absent due to the Africa Cup of Nations, the forward line still has quality players like Milot Rashica, Roberto Firmino, and Tony to lead the attack. They are expected to leverage their home advantage to secure three points. Al-Feiha's performance this season has been average, and their recent form is also just average, with only 1 win in the last 6 rounds. Their attacking ability is weak, and they mainly rely on defense to gain points. However, their away defense is significantly inferior to their home defense, making it very difficult for them to withstand Al-Ahli SFC's strong attack. Considering the market's opening data with Al-Ahli SFC giving a 1-goal handicap, a home win is favored. Prediction: Home win, Al-Ahli SFC (-1)
