Al-Riyadh
In their last outing, Al-Riyadh secured a 2-0 victory against Al-Faisaly, ending a three-match winless streak in the Saudi Pro League. This victory has boosted their morale, and they are eager to continue their winning form at home. Al-Riyadh has shown a solid defensive performance, conceding only two goals in their last three home matches.
- Al-Riyadh has not lost in regular time in 5 of their last 6 home matches in the Saudi Pro League (3 wins, 2 draws).
- They have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 home games.
- The number "2" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Al-Riyadh's last 6 home matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Kholood
Al-Kholood suffered a 1-3 defeat at home against Al-Ittihad in their previous match. This result extended their winless run in the league to four matches (1 draw, 3 losses). Al-Kholood is struggling to find consistency on the road, having failed to secure a win in their last five away fixtures. They need to improve their defensive strategies to avoid further setbacks.
- Al-Kholood has not won in regular time in their last 5 away matches in the Saudi Pro League (2 draws, 3 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of Al-Kholood's last 6 away games in this tournament.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 3 of Al-Kholood's last 6 away matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Riyadh vs. Al-Kholood: Match Prediction
Al-Riyadh has shown resilience at home, and their recent victory should give them confidence. They have been defensively solid, especially at home, and will aim to maintain this form. On the other hand, Al-Kholood has struggled on the road and needs to improve their defensive play to stand a chance.
Given the current form of both teams, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
