Comparative Team Statistics: Al-Fateh vs Al-Ahli Jeddah

Head-to-head has favoured the home side lately

Looking at the last five meetings between these two, the home team has actually won three of them, with one draw and one away win. The most recent meeting, back in May, finished 3-1 to Al-Ahli, who were at home that day.

Further back the head-to-head stretches over a decade with plenty of variety in results, so the recent meetings carry more weight than the older ones.

Home advantage has counted for something in this fixture recently, which is worth remembering with Al-Fateh hosting this time.

A big gap in the table

Al-Ahli Jeddah sit sixth in the Saudi Pro League after seven games, with four wins and 12 points on the board. Al-Fateh are down in 15th, still without a win, and have managed just three points from the same number of matches.

The goal difference underlines it too. Al-Ahli have scored 16 and conceded 10, while Al-Fateh have only four goals for against 11 against.

That gap in the table is about as clear as it gets this early in the season.

Toney leading the way for Al-Ahli

Ivan Toney has been the standout for Al-Ahli Jeddah, with 10 goals in just seven appearances this season. Trincão and Spertsyan have also chipped in, contributing goals and assists from midfield.

Al-Ahli Jeddah:

Best scorers:

I. Toney - 10

Trincão - 3

Best assist providers:

Trincão - 2

E. Spertsyan - 2

Penalty cards:

M. Demiral x 1 x 1

Rayane Hamidou x 2

I. Toney x 2

A handful of Al-Ahli players are already on two yellow cards, including Toney himself, so suspension risk is something to keep an eye on. There's no equivalent breakdown available for Al-Fateh's squad here.

How this one could play out

Al-Ahli arrive with a settled scoring threat and a much healthier points return, while Al-Fateh have struggled to score at all this season. That contrast suggests goals are more likely to come from the away side unless Al-Fateh can tighten things up at the back.

Al-Ahli are also juggling continental and cup football alongside the league, which can affect freshness from game to game. Al-Fateh, without those extra fixtures, at least get a clear run at preparing for this one.
