Al Fayha vs Al Ahli Prediction

Al Fayha look like they will be set for a relegation battle in the Saudi Pro League with just one win so far this season. The home team come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat to newly-promoted Al Qadsiah in their most recent outing a couple of weeks ago. They now face an Al Ahli side that, despite their big spending, have failed to win six of their opening ten games but former Red Bull Salzburg coach Matthias Jaissle remains in charge. They have been unconvincing yet should still come out on top in this one.
