REF’s picks

Al Ahli enter this fixture as clear superior quality against an Al-Fayha side struggling near the drop zone, making backing goals via the over line a sensible approach. Al Ahli's attack has been potent recently, hitting four past Al Fateh and three against Al Wasl, suggesting they can comfortably cover higher goal expectations on their own. However, Al-Fayha's defensive fragility and inability to string wins together mean an away blowout is entirely plausible, leaving little room for a home resurgence.
