Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Saudi Pro League match.
Al-Okhdood
There are no world stars in Al-Okhdood, this is why their main target is to stay in the Pro League. They’re only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone. Al-Okhdood have won 4 consecutive home games. However, before that they lost 6 home games in a row. Al-Ahli are better than Al-Okhdood in skills. The first game ended with Al-Ahli, winning 1:0.
Al-Ahli
This side won’t be able to take the first two places as Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr won’t let them do it. The main point is to secure third place to qualify for the Asian Champions League. Al-Ahli have some players of a high level, namely goalkeeper Mendy, midfielders Kessié, Saint-Maximin, Mahrez. They can’t lose this game, having these players in the squad.
Al-Okhdood – Al-Ahli prediction
Al-Ahli haven’t lost their 10 consecutive games, with 6 wins and 4 draws. They’re third, only behind Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. But they should keep in mind Al-Taawoun that are 6 points behind them.
