Al-Khaleej
DLDLWL
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Al-Fateh in Professional League competition, Al-Khaleej will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Al-Khaleej had 46% possession and 10 shots on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Al-Khaleej was Dimitris Kourbelis (4'). At the other end, Al-Fateh had 24 attempts on goal with 12 on target. Matías Vargas (44', 71') and Sofiane Bendebka (65') scored for Al-Fateh.
Al-Khaleej have been a threat going forward leading up to this encounter, having scored 7 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Al-Khaleej can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same games.

Team News: Al-Hilal
There is just one fitness concern for the Al-Hilal boss Jorge Jesus to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. João Cancelo (Torn thigh muscle) misses out.
📋
Team News: Al-Khaleej
Al-Khaleej has to currently contend with reduced team options. Dimitrios Kourbelis (Muscle injury) and Ibrahim Sehic (Shoulder injury) will not be playing here.
💭
Prediction
It looks to us that Al-Hilal have it within them to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
However, Al-Khaleej are also probably going to find it difficult finding the net themselves but do we see them converting at least once as well.
We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Al-Hilal at the end of this one.
