Al-Ettifaq boast one of the league's strongest away records, taking 10 points from a possible 12 on the road while conceding just 0.8 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets. Al Kholood have conceded in all nine of their league games this season, shipping an average of 2.3 goals at home. Although Al Kholood have managed three home victories, their defensive openness against an away side that won both of the previous two meetings between these clubs by 2-1 margins makes backing Al-Ettifaq to avoid defeat the strongest probabilistic outcome.
