Receiving guests at their own home is comfortable and friendly for Al Shoalah, but Al Ahli Jeddah are fully motivated and able to win this one. Who wins the prize?

Insights:
  • Al Shoalah have the fewest scored goals (19) in Division 1
  • Al Ahli Jeddah have the fewest conceded goals (24) in Division 1

For Shoalah relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely.

These teams have little in common geographically as Al Ahli Jeddah have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Al Shoalah and Al Ahli Jeddah should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
