Matchday 17 in the Saudi Pro League sees Al-Ahli and Al-Khaleej set to battle it out at King Abdullah Sports City. The hosts are in third place in the league standings, while the visitors are in eighth place. Here's our match prediction.
Al-Ahli are languishing in the top three of the Saudi Pro League standings and have accumulated 34 points from 15 games this season. They are level on points with second-placed Al-Nassr and have maintained a three-point lead over fourth-placed Al-Taawon.
The Royals' recent match was against Al-Kholood. Ivan Toney scored his sixth consecutive goal as his side cruised to a narrow 1-0 victory on the road.
In light of that result, they've won five consecutive matches since their 2-1 defeat against Al-Fateh on December 26th, 2025. Notably, they are unbeaten in their last four home matches across all competitions.
Al-Khaleej, on the other hand, have held their own admirably in the past weeks. The visitors come into this match unbeaten in their last four games, recording three wins and a solitary draw.
In their recent league game, they managed to live up to their billing as favorites against Al-Okhdood, winning 4-1 at home. Georgios Masouras was the man of the moment, bagging a brace.
Their recent performances on the road have fallen short of expectations. The Pearls have won just one of their last five outings.

Our Al Ahli vs Al-Khaleej Club Prediction
Al-Ahli are enjoying a great run of form at the moment and should be able to secure maximum points in this clash. They are worth taking a chance in the full-time market, having won five consecutive league games and four straight home games.
Besides Al-Khaleej's obvious struggles on the road this season, the visitors have not won this fixture since 2003. That could lead to their demise and possibly end a three-match winning streak in the league. That said, expect a comfortable home win in this one. Our Al-Ahli vs Al-Khaleej prediction: Al Ahli wins.
