In a surprising turn of events in the Saudi Pro League, Al Ettifaq defeated Al Ahli 3-1 at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium. The game, held on May 22, 2025, saw Al Ettifaq overcome the pre-game AI prediction that heavily favored an Al Ahli victory (55.7% win probability). Al Ahli started strong with an early penalty goal by Ivan Toney in the 6th minute. However, Al Ettifaq responded in the second half with goals from Mohammed Yousef (49'), Georginio Wijnaldum (87' Pen), and Madallah Al-Olayan (90'+5').
While Al Ahli had similar total shots (13) to Al Ettifaq, Al Ettifaq was more clinical, putting 8 shots on target compared to Al Ahli's 4. Possession was nearly split, with Al Ettifaq holding a slight edge (51.4%). Both teams committed an equal number of fouls (12) and received one yellow card each. The AI model didn't expect a balanced game, but the stats show a fairly even contest, barring the finishing.
Al Ahli, despite a higher team rate (0.622) compared to Al Ettifaq (0.487), couldn't convert their home advantage into a win. This loss breaks Al Ahli's recent winning streak at home. Looking ahead, Al Ahli faces Al Riyadh, a team struggling with recent form. Al Ahli will need to improve their away form, as evidenced by their recent loss to Al Shabab. Al Ettifaq, on the other hand, will host Al Wehda. Al Ettifaq's recent form has been inconsistent, but this victory should boost their confidence.
Historically, Al Ahli has had the upper hand in head-to-head matches against Al Ettifaq, though their most recent encounter ended in Al Ettifaq's favor. Al Ahli's previous matches show a mixed bag of results, including a dominant win against Al Kholood and a loss to Al Shabab, indicating potential inconsistency. Al Ettifaq's recent games reflect a similar pattern, with a draw against Damac, a loss to Al Kholood, and a win against Al Khaleej. The 4-2-3-1 formations employed by both teams didn't clearly favor either side, with Al Ettifaq ultimately capitalizing on their chances.

On May 22, 2025, Al Ahli will face Al Ettifaq at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium in a highly anticipated Saudi Pro League clash. AI algorithms predict an Al Ahli victory with a 55.7% probability, significantly outweighing Al Ettifaq's 20.2% chance. A draw is considered at 24.1%. Al Ahli, boasting a team rate of 0.622 compared to Al Ettifaq's 0.487, are favorites based on recent performance, including a dominant 4-1 win against Al Kholood. Their star midfielder, Roberto Firmino, will be crucial in dictating the tempo of the game, while Riyad Mahrez's dazzling wing play is expected to trouble Al Ettifaq's defense. Al Ettifaq, however, will be looking to upset the odds, hoping their striker, Moussa Dembélé, can find a breakthrough against Al Ahli's solid backline, even though they only got one victory in the last five games. The last head-to-head game saw Al Ahli winning 2-1. Football fans eagerly await to see if the AI's prediction will hold true in this exciting encounter.
