Al Riyadh vs Al Okhdood Prediction
Al Riyadh, who had been tipped up to be involved in the relegation battle this season, will be very content with being in the middle-of-the-table in the Saudi Pro League. The hosts most recently, though, suffered a 1-0 defeat to Al Qadsiah last weekend, meaning they are now winless in their last five matches. They now face an Al Okhdood side that sit firmly in the bottom three and the relegation places their own winless run of form extended to seven matches with an impressive 1-1 draw against league leaders Al Ittihad in Jeddah last weekend courtesy of a 96th minute equaliser scored by Cameroon international striker Christian Bassogog. The visitors will take some confidence from that and given the poor form of the hosts, it may well be a good value bet to side with them in this one.
Al Riyadh vs Al Okhdood Tip: Double chance – Al Okhdood to win or draw
