Al Ahli SC vs Al Jandal tips and predictions

Al Jandal epitomise role of outsider

With the gulf in class between the sides, the hosts are expected to get through this. But perhaps this will not be as clear-cut as it seems. To be clear Al Ahli SC are definitely the superior side but it doesn't feel right to back the short price.

The hosts are widely expected to win but they are certainly not unbeatable. In recent home matches Al Ahli SC's numbers might be significant. They've scored one or less goals in 9 of their last 13 home games. They'll be expected to improve that number in this game. In defence Al Ahli SC's performances have shown some cause for concern. They conceded at least once in 3 of their last 4 matches. Maybe this lends some further evidence supporting the upset.

Al Jandal have actually won 2 of their last 4 trips away. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 14 away matches. While most people think they have literally no chance, the visitors might just cause a shock here. Notably they've scored at least once in 14 of their last 17 games. To have the slightest chance they'll have to contribute more goals to that number. It'll be some performance if they manage that.

Away from the 1X2, the BTTS Yes is the best option but it comes with a pretty low rating.
