Al Kholood vs Al Riyadh Prediction

Al Kholood come into this one on the back of a 4-3 defeat to Al Ittihad in their most recent outing in Jeddah last weekend hen they did race into a 2-0 lead via goals from William Troost-Ekong and Myziane Maolida, who completed a brace in second-half stoppage-time. The hosts now face an Al Riyadh side that sit tucked inside the top-half of the Saudi Pro League table after a slender 1-0 defeat of struggling Al Wehda last week. Al Kholood lack a bit of quality defensively, whilst Al Riyadh are a strong side so a double chance bet in favour of the visitors would appear good value for this one.

Al Kholood vs Al Riyadh Tip: Double chance – Al Riyadh to win or draw
