Al Ahli Holds Third Place Before Al-taawoun Vs Al-ahli With 72 Points

Al-taawoun vs al-ahli arrives Monday with Al Ahli in third place in the Saudi top-flight standings on 72 points after 31 matches. The game is set for May 11, 2026, at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium, and Al Ahli enters with a two-match winning streak.

King Abdullah Sport City Stadium

Al Ahli’s recent form has been built at King Abdullah Sports City. Last Sunday, it beat Al Akhdoud 4-0, then followed with a 3-1 win over Al Fateh on Wednesday at the same venue.

Those two results pushed the side into this meeting with a record of 22 wins, six draws and three losses. The points total and the run of results leave little margin for a setback, because the club is still holding third place in a league race that can shift quickly late in the season.

Atangana, Kessié, and Al-Buraikan

Valentin Atangana scored against Al Akhdoud, and Franck Kessié and Firas Al-Buraikan also found the net in that 4-0 win. That kind of spread matters for Al Ahli because it has not been leaning on one scorer alone over the last two matches.

The 3-1 win over Al Fateh kept the streak alive and sent Al Ahli into Monday’s match with momentum already in place. For a side sitting on 72 points through 31 matches, every added result tightens the pressure on the clubs around it and leaves less room to slip in the standings.

FOX Sports 2 and Fubo

The match was scheduled for 1:45 p.m. ET, with FOX Sports 2 listed as a channel to watch and Fubo promoted for live streaming. That gives supporters two direct viewing options for a fixture that sits inside Saudi League action and carries weight because of Al Ahli’s position near the top of the table.

By kickoff, the focus is simple: whether Al Ahli can turn back-to-back wins into a third straight result while protecting third place. With 72 points already banked, the next step is not about style. It is about keeping pace at the sharp end of the Saudi top flight.
