⭐ Editor's Prediction
Al-Ahli are considered the favourites here, and it is hard to disagree with the bookmakers' assessment. The visitors are in excellent form, having won five matches in a row, and are clearly superior to their opponents in terms of squad quality. Al-Shabab, by contrast, have been inconsistent and regularly drop points, which is reflected in their league position. Even with the advantage of home ground, the hosts will find it difficult to stop an Al-Ahli side that has built up a head of steam. The editors' main prediction is an Al-Ahli win.
