Preview

Match preview

Al-Faisaly FC host Al Kholood in a Pro League clash that could shape the relegation battle. The home side sit 15th with just three points from seven games, scoring under one goal per match and conceding almost two. Their recent form is dominated by losses and low‑scoring draws, and they have failed to find the net in three of their last five outings.

Al Kholood sit comfortably in eighth place with twelve points, averaging 1.5 goals a game. Although they have suffered a heavy 0‑5 defeat at home recently, they have also recorded three consecutive matches in which they scored two or more goals. Their away record shows three draws and a single win, and they have not kept a clean sheet this season.

Head‑to‑head meetings favour Al Kholood, who have won two of the four recent encounters, including a 3‑0 away victory in 2024. The four matches have produced an average of 1.75 goals and only one both‑teams‑to‑score result, indicating a low‑scoring trend.

Given Al‑Faisaly’s struggles to score and Al‑Kholood’s slightly better attacking form, the away side is expected to avoid defeat while the total goal tally is likely to stay under 2.5.
