2.55Tip and bets
If the hosts want to have any chances this season, they should beat opponents like Al-Raed without any problems. Al-Ahly failed in matches with direct competitors and will try to make up for lost time at least with lower-class opponents. Al-Raed lost their last away match with a crushing score, although the opponent was not the most formidable. We think that the guests will not be able to compete with one of the strongest teams in the country either.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Al Ahly for 1.80
Bet on total
The hosts have top-class players in the attack line, so the team will probably rely on the attack. The visitors showed themselves terribly in defense in the last match, so it is unlikely that they will be able to keep a clean sheet now. Most likely, we will have a productive match here.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.82
Bet on the first half
The favorite will probably try to gain an advantage in the score as quickly as possible, so it will attack from the very first minutes. It is unlikely that the guests will be able to hold back the attacking onslaught of the opponent in the first 45 minutes. We believe that the first half will remain in favor of the home team.
Prediction - Al-Ahli win in the first half with odds of 1.65
