Al-Fayha host Al Ahli on Monday, October 19, in a Saudi Pro League meeting between teams with contrasting recent results. Al-Fayha are 14th and looking for their second league win of the season, while sixth-placed Al Ahli arrive after consecutive victories in different competitions. The match takes place at Al Majma'ah Sports City Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 15:05 local time. Recent meetings favor the visitors, although the sides drew 1-1 when they last faced each other in April.

Al-Fayha's Recent Form and Key Stats

Al-Fayha have gone five matches without a win, recording three draws and two defeats. Their latest setback was a 2-0 loss to Al Khaleej on October 15. Across those five games, they have averaged 0.8 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per match. They also failed to score in two of those outings, underlining the attacking difficulty they must address against Al Ahli.

Their broader Pro League record stands at one win, four draws and four defeats. Season averages of 0.9 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per league match help explain why turning draws into victories has proved difficult. Home advantage offers an opportunity to change that pattern, but the record cited for their last 11 home games contains only three wins.

One notable home statistic concerns the opening period rather than the final result: each of Al-Fayha's last 13 home Pro League matches has featured at least one first-half goal. That figure refers to goals in the match as a whole, not necessarily goals scored by Al-Fayha. A scoreless game has also been uncommon in their recent league fixtures, though their own scoring record shows they cannot rely on contributing to every such goal.

Al Ahli's Recent Form and Key Stats

Al Ahli have won three of their last five matches, alongside one draw and one defeat. Their most recent outing brought a 3-1 victory away to Al Wasl on October 12, following a 4-0 win in their latest Pro League game. Those results give the visitors a chance to make it three successive victories. Across their last five matches, they have averaged 2.4 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per game.

In the Pro League this season, Al Ahli have five wins and three defeats, with no draws. Their league scoring average is 2.5 goals per match, compared with 1.3 conceded. Away league games have not always been straightforward for them, but their recent results and season scoring figures give them a stronger attacking record than the hosts heading into this fixture.

Al Ahli's first-half numbers are especially relevant. At least one goal has been scored before half-time in each of their last 13 Pro League matches. Al Ahli themselves have led at the break in 14 of their last 18 league games, including eight of their last 13 away league fixtures. Those figures do not guarantee an early lead on Monday, but they point to a team regularly involved in decisive opening periods.

Al-Fayha vs Al Ahli Match Analysis

The recent head-to-head record gives Al Ahli another reason for confidence. From the five meetings covered by the supplied summary, Al-Fayha have no wins, one draw and four defeats, averaging 0.2 goals scored and 2.0 conceded per match. The exception to that run of defeats was the latest meeting, a 1-1 draw on April 8, 2026. Al-Fayha's second-half equalizer in that game offers a reminder that the visitors cannot treat previous results as a guarantee.

For Al-Fayha, the challenge is to improve on a five-match winless stretch while containing an opponent that has scored freely across its recent games. Al Ahli, meanwhile, will look to carry their momentum into another league fixture after their wins over Al Wasl and in their latest Pro League appearance. The contrast in league scoring averages favors the visitors, but Al-Fayha's draws show they have still found ways to take points during a difficult season.

The clearest shared statistical theme is the possibility of an early goal. Both Al-Fayha's last 13 home league matches and Al Ahli's last 13 league matches have contained a first-half goal. Combined with Al Ahli's frequent half-time leads, that makes the opening 45 minutes a particularly important part of this Al-Fayha vs Al Ahli preview.
