AL AHLI VS AL RAED PREDICTION
Matthias Jaissle, formerly of Red Bull Salzburg, has come under intense pressure and scrutiny as one of the richest four clubs in Saudi Arabia languish in ninth ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. The hosts were beaten 1-0 by Al Ittihad last weekend. They now face an Al Raed side that were also beaten as they suffered a 4-0 loss to Al Khaleej. These two have, quite remarkably, picked up the same amount of points but an Al Ahli win is still to be expected, especially with their home advantage.
