Al Tai vs Al Ahli Prediction
Al Tai currently find themselves in the relegation zone and are one point away from safety. Their five-game winless run does not look likely to end here as they have lost the last six games against their upcoming opponents.
Al Ahli were on an eight-game unbeaten streak in the league (five wins) and won their last three games of 2023 on the bounce. However, they kick-started the new year on a sour note and will be aiming to bounce back here.
We are backing the visitors to claim all three points with a routine victory and clean sheet.
