Al-Najma vs Al-Ahli: Prediction and odds on the Match on 23 October 2025

Round 6 of the Saudi Pro League brings Al-Ahli up against newly promoted Al-Najma at the Al-Najma Stadium, where the visitors aim to uphold their unbeaten run in the league. The visitors are desperate for a third consecutive win in the league, and they’ll go out for the win on Thursday. 

Al-Najma, desperate for their first win after five consecutive league defeats, have not had the best start to life in the Saudi Pro League this season, and this might take another hit as they take on the Champions of Asia on Friday. All signs are leading to an Al-Ahli victory, and nothing will stop it. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Al-Najma: form and statistics

Form in the league: LLLLL

This is an entirely new playing ground for Al-Najma, who has never played in the Roshn Saudi Pro League. Al-Najma played in the Saudi Second Division for three years before gaining promotion to the Yelo Division, where they also competed for two years before securing a coveted qualification to the Saudi Pro League last season.  

They have had the worst run so far in the Saudi Pro League, suffering five consecutive league defeats in the five games they’ve played in the league this season. Mario Silva’s side has made a bad start to the Saudi Pro League, winless in their first five league games in the top-flight and conceding a total of 13 goals. 

Al-Najma: Possible Lineup

Mario Silva’s campaign in the Saudi Pro League is not going as planned, as he has yet to win a game in the Saudi Pro League this season. There are no injury concerns for Al-Najma heading into this game. New signing Tijanic has been brilliant in the midfield for Al-Najma, while Lazaro and Ali Jasim have scored for Al-Najma already this season.

Player to watch out for: Ali Jasim 

Ali Jasim is the man to watch out for in this game for Al-Najma. He has scored twice already for Al-Najma this season. 

🔖 Al-Najma starting lineup (4-3-3)

Braga – Al-Abdulrazzaq, El Yamiq, Riyad Al-Asmari, Al-Hawsawi – Tijanic, Flores, Al-Shammari– Lazaro, Boutobba, Jasim

👤 Head coach: Mario Silva

Al-Ahli: form and statistics

Form in the League: DWDDW

Al-Ahli continue to sit high in the league this season, although they didn’t get the desired start they had hoped for, with two draws dragging them back and leaving them 8th placed on the league table. After the International break, Al-Ahli welcomed Al-Shabab to the Alinma Stadium in a game that ended in a 1-1 draw, making it their third draw in the Saudi Pro League. Before the draw against Al-Shabab, they had secured a 0-2 win against Al-Hazem. 

In the AFC Champions League, Al-Ahli have been incredible with two wins and a draw from the three games they’ve played in the Intercontinental competition. They thrashed Al-Gharafa in their last AFC Champions League game, with Kessie scoring a brace, and Enzo Milliot also finding the net. As we all know, Al-Ahli’s strength remains in their offensive lineup of Riyad Mahrez, Milliot, and Ivan Toney, and this trio continues to have a tremendous impact on Al-Ahli’s campaign. 

Al-Ahli: Possible Lineup

Matthias Jaissle, still basking in his accomplishment as the manager who led Al-Ahli to their first-ever AFC Champions League title, will be hoping for a positive campaign as they aim to have positive success in the league this season. 

Currently, Matthias is not doing too well, with only two wins and three draws from the five league games played. There is a need to employ a better approach. 

Player to watch out for: Ivan Toney

Ivan Toney was very instrumental in Al-Ahli’s AFC title victory last season, with his impact spanning across the domestic league as well. He has already scored four league goals for Al-Ahli this season.

🔖 Al-Ahli Probable starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Mendy – Al-Khalinari, Ibanez, Demiral, Al-Majrashi,— Franck Kessie, Ajohani — Galeno, Enzo Millot, Riyad Mahrez— Ivan Toney

👤 Head coach: Matthias Jaissle

Al-Najma vs Al-Ahli: Head-to-head statistics
