2.75Bet 2nd half: Al-Ahly win
In the last game, the visiting team won in the second half
1.83Tip and bets
The visitors will certainly be looking to win and earn another three points. Al-Ahli will play first, but with an eye on defense. It is not worth counting on a goal extravaganza, since the hosts have finished four matches in a row in all tournaments, except for friendly games, with a total under.
Betting Tip - total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.68
Bet on the outcome
Bookmakers put Al-Ahli as the clear favorites, despite the fact that the team has only one victory over its opponent in the last five head-to-head games. The visitors should not be in a bad mood, and we believe that the club from Jeddah will take advantage of a more balanced lineup and win.
Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Al-Ahli with odds of 1.80
Bet on total
In the opening match of this season, Al-Ahli scored two goals, while the hosts conceded three. The match will most likely not be rich in goals, and in three of the guests' five previous games, there was no exchange of goals, which is what we expect today.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 2.25
