Al-Raed - Form Analysis: Coasting to Season's End
"Raed Al Tahadi" is not aiming for high achievements this season. The new coach, Jovićević, who arrived last summer, has not made significant improvements compared to last season when they finished in the top 10. Their position has slightly declined, but they have created a buffer from the relegation zone. It seems the team has decided they are safe from relegation, resulting in a series of draws in recent matches, except for their victory over Al-Wehda, thanks to a late goal by El Berkaoui, which marked his twelfth of the season.
Al-Ahli - Form Analysis: Struggling to Compete for the Title
"The Fortress of Trophies" made efforts to strengthen their squad last summer. The new coach, Jaissle, and new players such as Draxler, Demiral, Roger Ibañez, Kessié, Saint-Maximin, Firmino, Mahrez, Edouard Mendy, and Alioski were added to the team. Despite these reinforcements, they have only managed to secure a place in the top three, with both Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal being much stronger. Al-Ahli has been inconsistent, not winning two consecutive league matches in 2024, though they have avoided significant slumps. In their last match, they thrashed Abha 5-1.
