The hosts occupy 2nd place in the table with a record of 18-5-1 and demonstrate dominance at their own stadium, where they win 75% of matches and have a positive goal difference of +18.

The visitors concede an average of 1.42 goals per away match, which, given Al Ahli's efficiency (average of 2.42 goals per match at home), constitutes a significant advantage for the hosts.
