AL QADSIAH VS AL AHLI PREDICTION
After an ambitious summer transfer window since gaining promotion last season, Al Qadsiah have put together what does appear to be a strong squad on paper for this year and one defeat in five matches across all competitions is a good start. They face an Al Ahli side that have enjoyed three goals in two matches from Ivan Toney has he hits the ground running. Al Ahli look stronger than last year but with some similar fallibilities so both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one.
