AL KHOLOOD VS AL NASSR PREDICTION
The home team have managed just one win in their opening seven matches so far this season. Al Kholood most recently shared a 1-1 draw with Al Fateh at the Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium after they had opened the scoring via Alex Collado after nine minutes. They now face an Al Nassr side that remain unbeaten with five victories and two draws after Cristiano Ronaldo scored a 97th minute winning penalty to defeat Al Shabab last weekend. Al Nassr are firm favourites for this one.
