Al Orubah vs Al Qadsiah Prediction

Al Orubah, as mentioned, had started the season well but they have drifted down the league as they come into this one on the back of a 3-0 loss to Al Khaleej the other day which means they have now suffered seven defeats in their last eight matches in the Saudi Pro League. They face an Al Qadsiah side that, also following their promotion to the top-flight last season, have managed to push themselves into the top three ahead of this week’s round of fixtures thanks to a 3-0 hammering of Al Wehda the other day and Al Qadsiah are the firm favourites for this one, too.
