Al-Orouba
In their last match, Al-Orouba suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat to Al-Fateh. This result extended their winless streak to four matches in the Saudi Pro League (2 draws, 2 losses). The team has struggled to find the net, scoring only once in their last four outings. Currently, Al-Orouba sits near the bottom of the table and needs to secure points in their remaining fixtures to avoid relegation.
- The team has not lost in regular time in 3 of their last 5 home matches in the Saudi Pro League (1 win, 2 draws).
- Al-Orouba has kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 5 home games in this tournament.
- The number "1" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Al-Orouba's last 6 home matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Khaleej
Al-Khaleej comes into this match on the back of a thrilling 3-2 victory over Al-Shabab. This win marked their second consecutive victory, moving them further away from the relegation zone. The team has shown improvement in attack, scoring six goals in their last two matches. Al-Khaleej is now looking to maintain their momentum and secure a mid-table finish.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last four away matches in the Saudi Pro League (2 draws, 2 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of Al-Khaleej's last 6 away games in this tournament.

Al-Orouba vs. Al-Khaleej: Match Prediction
Al-Orouba has struggled offensively this season, particularly at home, where they have found it challenging to score. Despite their defensive approach, they have conceded goals at crucial moments, leading to dropped points. On the other hand, Al-Khaleej has been inconsistent on the road but has shown signs of improvement in recent matches.
Given both teams' current form and their respective positions in the league, I anticipate a closely contested match with few goals. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
