AL AHLI VS AL OKHDOOD PREDICTION
Matthias Jaissle remains in charge of Al Ahli but the former Red Bull Salzburg coach has been under major pressure due to their poor start to the season. They did earn a much-needed victory last weekend against Al Khaleej before defeating Al Rayyan in the AFC Champions League. They now face an Al Okhdood side that have won just one of their opening seven matches as they begin this weekend sitting firmly in the bottom three and the relegation zone. Al Ahli should come out on top in this one, especially with their home advantage.
