⁠Al Qadisiyah vs Al Ahli Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The newcomers made some eye-catching transfers this summer.

Al Qadisiyah have started their tenure in the Saudi Pro League in impressive fashion. After securing a promotion to the league, no one would have thought of the performance that they will be putting in week in and week out. 

Credits need to be given to the hierarchy who have made some eye-catching transfers and have improved the team enormously. Al Qadisiyah currently occupies the seventh position in the league after gathering seven points from the opening four matches. Michel’s team has also made it to the next round of the King’s Cup after getting past Al-Orobah. 

Al Ahli have also made a similar start to the new season as their counterparts collecting seven points from the opening four matches. After a productive last few seasons, the team finally looks strong this season to challenge for the title with the addition of Ivan Toney who has made an excellent start to his career here.

However, they were dealt with a setback in the last game. Al-Jandal pulled a shocking win over them to eliminate them from the King’s Cup. It was a lacklustre display from the team who should have moved to the next round after getting a favourable opponent.

Players to Watch

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (⁠Al Qadisiyah)

Al Qadisiyah have made some statement signings this summer. One of them is Aubameyang who has been long considered among the best strikers in Europe. Last season at Marseille, he scored a whopping 30 goals and also provided a remarkable 11 assists to finish as the top contributor. Al Qadisiyah will be hoping that he starts to produce similar results for them also. 

Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)

Ivan Toney has hit the ground running for his new team after managing to score three goals from four matches since making a big money move from Brentford. Toney who is known for his physique and goal-scoring prowess has already started building relationships with his fellow attackers which was already evident in their 4-2 win over Damac. Now, it remains to be seen whether he can guide the team to the top of the table this season.
