Preview: Al Riyadh vs Al Ahli Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

The Royals are undefeated in their last three outings against Al Riyadh.

Al Riyadh are now going to lock horns with Al Ahli for their next fixture of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. This is going to be an entertaining fixture between these sides, which is scheduled to take place at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.

The hosts are not going to be confident coming into their upcoming fixture. They are coming in after facing a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Al Shabab in their previous game. It was a poor performance by them.

Having won just three of their 23 games, Al Riyadh are in 15th place on the league table. With their current pace, they might even be relegated at the end of the season.

On the other hand, Al Ahli are doing well at the moment. They have secured back-to-back wins in their last four games and will be eager to extend their winning run.

The Royals outplayed Damac FC in their last matchup and are now on top of the Saudi Pro League points table. A win here will keep them at the top. They will be full of confidence for their upcoming game despite being the visiting team.

Players to Watch

Mamadou Sylla (Al Riyadh)

Mamadou Sylla is going to be one of the important players of the squad in the final third for Al Riyadh. In 20 Saudi Pro League appearances this season, he has scored six goals and has an assist to his name. He will be looking to step up his game so that he can come up with a top performance to help his side against the Royals.

Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)

Even though the Englishman failed to score a goal in the previous outing for Al Ahli, he is still going to be one of the main men in the attacking front. He recently scored a hat-trick against Al Najma and is the top goal scorer in the Saudi Pro League. He is competing for the Golden Boot with players like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ivan Toney has 23 goals in 21 matches in the competition so far this season.
