Al-Ahli Jeddah
On 22 August 2026, Al-Ahli will host Abha in the second round of the Saudi Pro League. The match will take place at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.
The visitors have not won away in the Saudi Pro League since December 2022, while the hosts go into the match with two wins from two games in the new season.
The first thing that stands out is the huge gap in class between the teams: Al-Ahli regularly play in the AFC Champions League, while Abha have only just been promoted to the top division. The visitors' winless run in the Pro League stands at 26 matches, so there is no doubt about the favourites for the upcoming match, as the modest 1.20 odds on Al-Ahli to win show.
It is worth considering an Al-Ahli win to nil bet: the club conceded its only goal of the new season in the 90th minute of a cup match — their first conceded goal in their last four home games.
Abha also rarely score away from home in the top flight: in their last Pro League season, the club failed to score in 7 of 17 away matches.
The teams' last two head-to-head meetings are also telling: Al-Ahli won them by an aggregate score of 11:1.
