NEOM
In their last outing, NEOM secured a narrow 1-0 victory away at Al-Fateh. This win ended a three-match winless run in the Saudi Pro League, where they had drawn two and lost one. NEOM has shown a solid defensive display, conceding only three goals in their last four matches. They currently sit mid-table with ambitions to climb higher.

Al-Khaleej
Al-Khaleej suffered a 0-2 defeat at home to Al-Shabab in their previous game. This result extended their losing streak to three matches in the Saudi Pro League. The team has struggled defensively, conceding seven goals in their last three outings. Currently, they are languishing in the lower half of the table and need to find form quickly to avoid a relegation battle.
- The team has not won in their last 5 away matches in the Saudi Pro League (1 draw, 4 losses).
- Al-Khaleej has conceded at least two goals in 4 of their last 5 away games in this tournament.

NEOM vs. Al-Khaleej: Match Prediction
NEOM has shown resilience at home, and their defensive solidity could prove crucial against an Al-Khaleej side struggling for form. Despite their recent struggles, NEOM's home advantage and defensive record suggest they have the upper hand. Al-Khaleej, on the other hand, needs to tighten their defense to stand a chance of taking any points from this fixture.
Considering all factors, I predict a narrow victory for NEOM. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
