Al-Raed

WLDLLL 📉

Al-Raed will be wanting a better result here following a 1-2 Professional League loss in their previous game against Al-Khaleej.

In that match, Al-Raed had 40% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Al-Khaleej had 19 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Kostas Fortounis (97') was the scorer for Al-Khaleej.

Al-Raed have been conceding pretty frequently lately, but they’ve also found ways to score goals themselves. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Al-Raed have seen their goal breached in 6 of them while also getting on the scoresheet in 6 of those games. Nevertheless, time will tell if the trend will persist in this game.

🗞️ Team News: Al-Raed

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Al-Raed manager to contend with due to a largely intact group of players. Mohammed Fouzair (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the view that Al-Raed have it within them to breach the defence of this Al-Ahli Saudi lineup, although just one goal possibly won’t quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re therefore tipping both teams to score in a 1-2 winning score for Al-Ahli Saudi when all is said and done. Hopefully this is a good one.
