Form guide
Abha are bottom of the Saudi Pro League with two points from eight games and no win. They have scored 6 and conceded 15. At home they have one draw and two defeats, scoring 2. Their last game was a 2-1 defeat at Al-Qadsiah on Friday.
Al-Kholood have 12 points from nine games, but they are in a bad run: three straight defeats, including 5-0 at home to Al-Qadsiah and 3-2 at Al-Faisaly on Thursday. They have not won away from home (three draws, two defeats), scoring 6 and conceding 9.
Head-to-head
We found no previous top-flight meeting between the two clubs, so this game is decided by current form.
Our prediction and why
The result is hard to call, so we leave it alone and take over 1.5 goals. Every one of Al-Kholood's nine league games has had at least two goals. Abha have conceded 15 in eight, and six of their eight games also had two or more. Al-Kholood have conceded 18 in nine, so both defences are leaky.
Other bets to consider
Both teams to score is possible, since seven of Al-Kholood's nine games had goals at both ends. We keep it out of the main tips because Abha have scored only twice at home.
