Al-Akhdood
Al-Akhdood, on the other hand, is still searching for their first win of the season after a 1-1 draw against Al-Taawoun in their most recent fixture. The team has struggled defensively, conceding four goals in their first two matches. However, they have managed to find the net in both games, showing some promise in attack.

NEOM vs. Al-Akhdood: Match Prediction
NEOM has started the season in excellent form and will be looking to maintain their 100% record. Their attacking prowess, combined with a solid defense, makes them favorites in this encounter. Al-Akhdood will need to improve defensively if they are to challenge NEOM, but given their current form, it seems unlikely they will be able to secure a victory.
