Al-Fayha vs Al-Ahli Jeddah: Can the Hosts Finally Break Their Unbeaten Hoodoo?

Al-Ahli Jeddah have not lost to Al-Fayha in their last five Pro League meetings, winning four and drawing one while scoring ten goals and conceding just one. That record is the thread running through this round 10 fixture on Monday at Al Majma’a Sport City in Madimaa.

Context & stakes

Sixth-placed Al-Ahli Jeddah have 15 points from eight matches and are comfortably in the upper half of an 18-team table. Al-Fayha, 14th, have collected seven points from nine games and are a long way from where they want to be. For the visitors, a win would keep their momentum building. For the hosts, a result is needed more urgently.

Form

Al-Ahli arrive in better shape. Their last five league results read WWLWL, and across those matches they have scored 14 goals while conceding seven. They have won all three of their home games this season but have lost three of their five away matches, so their travelling record is the one to watch.

Al-Fayha’s recent run is LDDLD, with four goals scored and seven conceded in their last five. They have one win from nine league games this season, and have a habit of losing ground late: seven of their 14 goals conceded have come between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Head-to-head

The recent meetings have leaned heavily towards Al-Ahli:

• May 2024: Al-Ahli 1-0 Al-Fayha
• November 2024: Al-Fayha 0-1 Al-Ahli
• April 2025: Al-Ahli 5-0 Al-Fayha
• December 2025: Al-Ahli 2-0 Al-Fayha
• April 2026: Al-Fayha 1-1 Al-Ahli

The only blemish on the visitors’ run came in the most recent meeting, a stalemate in Madimaa in April, when Al-Fayha held them to a point on their own ground.

Our prediction

Al-Fayha 1-2 Al-Ahli Jeddah. Al-Ahli’s attacking output over the past few weeks gives them the edge, and their dominance in this fixture suggests they will know how to manage the game. Al-Fayha will fight hard at home and could make it tight, but they have struggled to keep out goals and the visitors are likely to find a way to win.
