AL KHOLOOD TEAM NEWS: NO ISSUES

With one of the weaker squads in the Saudi Pro League, it is perhaps even more important for Al Kholood to have a fully fit and available squad given the lack of depth and general limitations – and a fully fit squad is what they are blessed with this weekend.

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Grohe; Al Hawsawi, Troost-Ekong, Gyomber, Al Shamrani; Dieng, N’Doram; Alex Collado, Safari, Maolida; Muleka

AL WEHDA VS AL KHOLOOD PREDICTION

Al Wehda’s most recent outing saw them hammered by seven goals to one by a new look and refreshed Al Ittihad side in Jeddah last week. That has boosted the amount of goals in their games but they have been generally high-scoring for the last 12-18 months or so. Al Kholood are a weak side and are expected to struggle against the drop throughout the campaign so backing a comfortable Al Wehda looks the safe bet for this one.
