- Competition: Saudi Professional League
- Date: Monday, 20th January 2025
- Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
- Venue: Al Ettifaq club stadium (Dammam)
Al Ettifaq were not on the previous season's level when they finished sixth on the table. This year, they are currently 11th with only six points more than the drop zone. Al Ettifaq didn't play well for most of the season, but they won three of the last four matches in all competitions, and now things are not looking so grim. In the previous game, Al Ettifaq won 3-0 on the road against Damac. The guests completely outplayed the home side as Al Ettifaq tripled the opponent's xG.
Al Ahli's ambitions are to fight for the championship title, but they are currently 14 points behind the league leaders Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. Al Ahli improved recently as they won seven of the last nine matches. In the previous game, they lost 1-0 on the road against Al Kholood. The guests were big favorites to win, and it was shocking to see them lose in Buraidah.
Al Ettifaq vs Al Ahli pick: Over 2.5 goals
There were three or more goals in each of the last six Al Ettifaq games. On the other hand, Al Ahli scored nine goals in the previous four matches. We should expect a lot of goals in Monday's tie.

Al Ahli team news
Al Ahli can't be satisfied with the season, but they still haven't signed any new players during the current transfer window. There are about two more weeks for Al Ahli to find players that will change the outlook of their season.
Al Ahli's Merih Demiral got a red card in the previous league round, so the defender will serve suspension on Monday afternoon.
