Al Ahli picked up an amazing form in the last couple of weeks and I don't expect them to face any problems against struggling Al Gharafa on Monday. A home win in handicap is the best bet. 

Key Stats  


  • Al Ahli have won their last 4 matches. 
  • Al Ahli have won by 2+ goals difference in their last 2 matches against Al Gharafa. 
  • Al Gharafa have lost their last 4 away matches. 

Hosts Edge H2H 


These sides locked horns eight times so far and Al Ahli have a 3-2 advantage in terms of victories, while three games ended without a winner. 

Al Ahli are the Reigning Champions 


Al Ahli have won the AFC Champions League last season in a dramatic fashion, while starting the new campaign with a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Pakhtakor in mid-September. 

The champions bounced back earlier this month though, outplaying Al Wasl 3-1 on the road, Ibanez, Trincao and Firas Al Buraikan appearing on the scoresheet. 

Marino Pusic’s side is also on fire in the Saudi Pro League, claiming four straight victories and moving up to 5th place. Last weekend, they crushed Al Khaleej 4-1 at home, Ivan Toney stealing the spotlight by netting a brace. 

Visitors Struggling Across Competitions 


Al Gharafa were tagged massive underdogs in the AFC Champions League opening match against Al Hilal, but left a solid impression in a 2-1 loss, Alaa Aladin scoring a consolation in stoppage time. 

They had 1.79-0.67 expected goals and 19-10 shots in the second round against Esteghlal at home, but still lost this encounter 2-1. 

Al Gharafa have played two Qatar Stars League games since, both ending without a winner, a goalless draw against Al Rayyan and a 2-2 draw against Al Ahli Doha last Friday. They have just six points after seven league games. 

Team News 


Zakaria Hawsawi and Mohammed Abdulrahmann are serving red card suspensions for the home side, while Abubakar Kinteh is injured. Ivan Toney is expected to lead the attack, netting 13 goals already in the Pro League this season.

The visiting side have no reported injuries or suspensions ahead of this clash. Winger Yacine Brahimi is the top scorer this season with three goals.

Verdict

Al Gharafa have won just one out of seven league games and also struggle in the AFC Champions League. I am backing Al Ahli to claim a convincing victory on Monday.
