Al Fayha will be attempting to finish seventh in the Saudi Pro League when they travel to face Al-Ahli in the final game of the season. It is a must-win match if the visitors want to leapfrog the team above them, while the hosts are just looking to wrap up the campaign with three points. © Reuters It has been a strong campaign for Al-Ahli, but there is nothing for them to play for on the final day of the season when it comes to the league table.
Matthias Jaissle 's men will finish the season in third place, narrowly missing out on the top two, which is largely down to how many games they have drawn in comparison to those above them. One of those took place in their most recent outing as Al-Ahli were held to a goalless draw against Al-Raed, which did stretch their recent unbeaten run to three games. Al-Ahli have been a stronger outfit in home fixtures throughout this campaign which should give them some confidence as they have only lost two league games in their ground all season.
They will also have belief coming from the previous meeting between these teams earlier in the campaign, when it was a dominant 4-0 victory for Al-Ahli, with every single goal taking place in the first half. © Reuters That is a result the visitors will be keen to avenge, largely because it was such a heavy defeat, but also because they still have something to play for in terms of the league table. Al Fayha heads into the game in eighth place at the moment, but with just one point between them and A.
