Prediction Al Ahli vs Al-Fayha Season 2024/2025 – Betting Tips for the Pro League on April 18, 2025

Match Preview

Football fans across Saudi Arabia are gearing up for an exciting clash as Al Ahli takes on Al-Fayha at the breathtaking King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. Scheduled for April 18, 2025, kickoff is set for 16:20, promising a thrilling spectacle in the Pro League's regular season. With Al Ahli currently positioned at 4th in the league table and Al-Fayha trailing in 12th, this matchup has significant implications for both teams as they look to secure crucial points.

Al Ahli's Recent Form

Al Ahli is riding high after a solid victory over Al Raed, a game that saw them dominate proceedings with a convincing 2-0 win just a week prior. The home side showcases a well-balanced outfit, having accumulated 52 points from 27 matches. With 16 wins and a robust goal difference of +25 (52 scored, 27 conceded), Al Ahli has proven to be a formidable force at home, boasting a 61.54% chance of both teams scoring when playing at King Abdullah Sports City. Their impressive attacking stats, including an average of 15 shots per game, further underline their potency in front of goal. The only question is whether they can maintain that high-performance level against a struggling Al-Fayha.

Al-Fayha's Standings and Challenges

On the flip side, Al-Fayha is facing a tougher battle for survival as they sit in the relegation zone. With just 29 points accumulated from 27 games, their form has failed to match that of their opponents. Despite victories, including a recent 2-1 win over Al-Qadsiah, consistency has eluded them, reflected in their dismal goal difference of -13. They possess a modest average of 8.85 shots per game, underscoring their need to improve offensively. Al-Fayha's defensive vulnerabilities have also shown in their 34 goals conceded this season, placing them under immense pressure heading into this crunch fixture.

Head-to-Head Insights

Historically, the matchup has leaned slightly in favor of Al-Fayha. In their last encounter on November 22, 2024, they edged out Al Ahli with a 1-0 victory. However, that will provide little comfort as Al Ahli's current form indicates they're a different beast now, keen on revenge.

Betting Suggestions

Given Al Ahli's stellar home record and scoring ability, along with Al-Fayha's struggle to find consistent form, we suggest considering a bet on Al Ahli to win. The odds stand at 1.28, reflecting a probability of 77.82% for a home victory. Furthermore, with the attacking prowess on display, a wager on 'Over 2.5 Goals' could also be worth exploring. Given both teams' recent performances, expect an exhilarating encounter that may just see the net bulge multiple times.
