The Royals are on a three-match winning run against the Knights of the East.

Al Ahli are all set to battle it out against Al Qadsiah in what is going to be the quarter-final fixture of the 2025-26 King’s Cup. This high-stakes game will take place at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium.

The Royals will be at home, and it is going to keep them at an advantage. They eased past Al Batin in their previous round match of the Saudi Cup competition.

The upcoming game is going to be a tough contest for them. Al Ahli have come up with good performances in their last three matches against the Knights of the East.

Al Qadsiah were recently outplayed by Al Ahli in their Saudi Pro League contest, and this can become a pressurising situation for them from the start. The visitors must come up with a better performance and a different approach this time around. Their attack looked weak in their previous league game.
