The previous outing between these clubs ended in a draw.

The Royals will be at home, and this will be one of their advantages. They have performed really well in their last few matches and will be fully confident for their upcoming game as well. Al Ahli are in fourth place on the league table at the moment, and a win will be enough to get them to the second spot.

The Pearls have also performed well in their last three games and will be looking to continue their run of form. Even though the upcoming contest is not going to be an easy game, Al Khaleej will be looking to put up a strong fight. Having won seven of their 15 matches, they are in eighth place on the Saudi Pro League points table.

Players to Watch

Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)

Ivan Toney continues his goal-scoring run for Al Ahli and is yet again going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. He is coming in after scoring a match-winning goal in the previous league outing. The 29-year-old has scored 10 goals and has two assists in 13 Saudi Pro League appearances this season.

Joshua King (Al Khaleej)

The 34-year-old is in top form for Al Khaleej this season. He has scored 13 goals and has two assists in 14 league games of the ongoing campaign. Joshua King will be ready to lead his side in the attacking front once again.

His presence in the final third is surely going to raise concerns for the hosts.
