Al-Fateh vs Al-Ahli Prediction and Betting Tips | 27th August 2024
Al-Ahli visit the Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium on Tuesday for their second game of the 2024-25 Saudi Pro League season. The Royals are looking to make it two wins from two, having begun their campaign on a positive note.
In their opening game last weekend, Matthias Jaissle's side overcame the promoted Al-Orobah, 2-0 at home. Abdulkarim Darisi broke the deadlock for them in the 32nd minute before Roberto Firmino doubled their advantage with only 10 minutes of normal time remaining.
They sit in third position of the league table with three points, behind only defending champions Al-Ahli and Al-Qadisiyah.
On the other hand, Al-Fateh began their top-flight campaign with a 3-0 loss to Al-Qadisiyah on the road. Julian Quinones scored a hat-trick for the hosts as the Sons of the Palm suffered a heavy loss in their first game.
Having finished a respectable seventh in the Saudi Pro League last season, bigger things were expected from them this time around, but Al-Fateh were dealt a harsh reality check. They will be looking to pick themselves up here.

Al-Fateh vs Al-Ahli Prediction
Al-Ahli began their season with a routine victory, but will be aiming to hit the throttle here as they aim for some early momentum in the title race. Al-Fateh have struggled in the league in their last few games and don't boast the quality like their rivals do. Nonetheless, at home, they could give the Royals a serious run for their money here. We expect Al-Ahli to prevail nonetheless.
Prediction: Al-Fateh 1-2 Al-Ahli
