Al-Raed
WLDLLL 📉
Al-Raed will be hoping to bounce back here after a 1-2 Professional League loss in their previous game against Al-Khaleej.
In that match, Al-Raed had 40% possession and 9 shots at goal with 3 on target. On the other side, Al-Khaleej got 19 shots on goal with 7 on target. Kostas Fortounis (90') 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 a single fitness concern for the Al-Raed boss to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Mohammed Fouzair (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t play.
🔮
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.
