Al Ahli face Muaither in Week 5 of the 2023-2024 season Expo Stars League at the Al Thumama Stadium. The kick-off is at 8pm.

Both teams are seeking to garner victory and obtain the three points, and push themselves up the rankings table, especially Al Ahli who are yet to open their account and are lying in the second-last position.

Muaither will try to continue their strong show having achieved a fourth point with a feisty 2-2 draw against Al Shamal in the previous round. Muaither are placed seventh.

Al Ahli are in a dire situation and will seek to correct their path before they run into complex calculations. Al Ahli would hope for a win at the expense of Muaither, who are a challenging lot and have shown that they cannot be taken lightly.

Muaither will try hard to take advantage of Al Ahli’s circumstances and win the three points to continue their top performance and rise in the standings. Team coach Jose Murcia would look to keep up the momentum and achieve another win with his players’ high morale.

The two teams are distinguished by the fact that they have attacking players. Muaither also have the presence of Guy Mbenza, who has scored the only hat-trick of this season so far, with a total tally of five goals.

Al Ahli too have heavy firepower and are served by players like Jordanian striker Yazan Al Naimat, Tunisian Naim Al Sliti and their new German star Julian Draxler.
