Al-Ahli’s five-match winning run against Al Taawon faces a fresh test

A wide gap in the table

Al-Ahli Jeddah have won all five of their last meetings with Al Taawon, with no draws in that sequence. That recent dominance gives the Jeddah side a clear psychological edge as they meet again in the Pro League on 5 November.

The teams also arrive from opposite ends of the table. Al-Ahli are sixth on 21 points after 11 matches, while Al Taawon sit 17th with five points from 12. The gap is eleven places and sixteen points, although Al-Ahli’s most recent league match ended in defeat.

Contrasting recent form

Al-Ahli have won four of their last five league matches, scoring 15 goals and conceding 10. Their home form is particularly compelling: four wins from four league games in Jeddah, with 16 goals scored and only two conceded.

Al Taawon, by contrast, are without a win in twelve league matches. Their last five brought two draws and three defeats, with just three goals scored and eight conceded. Away from home they have drawn once and lost five times in six matches, scoring five and conceding 12.

Five meetings, five Al-Ahli wins

Al-Ahli’s record in the recent head-to-head is emphatic: five wins from five, while Al Taawon have neither won nor drawn. The latest meeting, in May, finished 2-1 to Al-Ahli away from home. Earlier meetings included a 2-0 home win and a 4-2 victory on the road, underlining that this advantage has come in more than one setting.

Players who can shape the contest

Al-Ahli’s 15 goals across their last five league matches point to an attack in productive form, while their four home wins have come with just two goals conceded. That balance could be decisive against an opponent who has scored only three times in its last five.

Al Taawon will need to make the most of their opportunities to challenge that pattern. They have conceded 20 goals in 12 league matches, and their away record includes no clean sheets.

Our prediction

Al-Ahli’s home strength and recent scoring form give them the clearer route to control, while Al Taawon’s long winless run and low recent goal return make an upset difficult to see. PreviaXI’s model also favours the hosts, pointing towards a home win with Al Taawon kept scoreless.
