Al-Wehda secured a crucial 3-1 victory at home against Al-Fateh in their previous match. This win ended a three-game losing streak and provided a much-needed boost to their campaign.

Al-Akhdoud vs. Al-Wehda: Match Prediction
Al-Akhdoud has shown resilience at home, often keeping games tight and low-scoring. They have a strong defensive record in recent home matches and will rely on this to secure a positive result. However, their lack of offensive firepower remains a concern.
Al-Wehda's performance on the road has been inconsistent, with their defense often breached. They have struggled to find the net away from home, which might be a challenge against Al-Akhdoud's organized backline.
Considering all factors, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
