AL OKHDOUD VS AL QADSIAH PREDICTION

Al Okhdoud come into this one on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Damak in their most recent outing, at the weekend. They found themselves 3-0 down inside 28 minutes before rallying and steadying but it was another performance that showed them to be out of their depth. Despite just gaining promotion, Al Qadsiah have embarked upon an ambitious transfer window and, especially with some of the players now at their disposal, will be favourites for this one.
