Desperate to make up some ground in the AFC Champions League chase, Al-Ahil will travel to Al-Orubah on Thursday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Al-Orobah might have made their Saudi Pro League return this season, Adnan Hamad’s side have a real battle on their hands in the battle to keep hold of their top-flight status. Opening Thursday’s showdown in Sakakah sat in the drop zone, the former Jordan boss finds his squad pencilled in as a leading relegation contender in 2025. Despite being last seen snatching a 0-0 stalemate away at Al-Taawon, that is the only point that they have collected from any of their last five Pro League appearances. Getting the New Year underway with a nightmare display as they fell to a 5-0 drumming at home against Al-Hilal, the midweek hosts have shown some glaring issues in the final third. Signing off 2024 with a 1-0 loss against Al-Riyadh Ham’s side have failed to find the net on their five-match winless rut. Scrapping it out at the foot of the Pro League standings, Al-Orobah will be bracing themselves for another heavyweight challenge here.

As for the visitors, while Al-Ahil might have fallen to a shock 1-0 loss at the hands of Al-Kholod earlier in the month, the Royals have proven that result was just a minor blip. Putting in a dominant display last weekend as they stormed their way to a 5-0 romp against Al-Riyadh, Matthias Jaissle will be calling on a repeat performance here. Signing off 2024 with an action-packed 4-2 victory away at Al-Taawon, Thursday’s guests have collected 29 points from their previous 11 appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to October 31st. Now with their sights firmly set on making up some ground in the AFC Champions League chase, Al-Ahil have also won seven of their previous nine showdowns outside of Jeddah. Smelling a golden chance here, the Saudi giants will be excited by a dominant record against the midweek hosts. In fact, Jassie’s camp have collected 13 points from their last five meetings against Al-Orubah.
