Mosimane’s Al Ahli Eyes Top Spot In Saudi First Division Log

Al Ahli Saudi, led by coach Pitso Mosimane, are gunning for the top spot in the Saudi Arabia first division log as they return to league action. They visit eighth-placed Al-Jabalain on Tuesday night, with a win enough to see them climb back to the top of the table after leaders Al Hazem dropped two crucial points in a 0-0 draw with Al Riyadh.

Al Ahli look to continue their run of form

Ahli are currently in second place with 52 points, while Hazem have 54 points with eight games remaining. With the title race heating up, it is looking to be an exciting end to the league, with the title likely to go down to the wire if both teams win their remaining matches.

In the reverse fixture early this year, Jabalain were thrashed 3-0 by Ahli, and will be looking to seek revenge on their home turf. Ahli’s camp is surely on a high, having won four games in a row.

Coach Mosimane recognized for his efforts

In addition to their good form, coach Pitso Mosimane was named February coach of the month, an accolade well-deserved for the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach. When he started in September, his mandate was to take the team to the top four, but he has already exceeded expectations.

Al Ahli and Al Hazem set to clash on the final day

Ahli and Hazem are set to lock horns on the last day of league action on May 29. The final showdown will likely be crucial in determining the champions of the first division.

The race to the top is heating up, and it remains to be seen who will come out on top. Both teams will be hoping to finish the season on a high note, and fans can look forward to some exciting football action in the coming weeks.
