Al-Ahli vs. Al-Kholood: Match Prediction
Al-Ahli has shown resilience at home, and they will be looking to capitalize on Al-Kholood's poor away form. While Al-Ahli has been effective in front of goal, Al-Kholood has struggled defensively on the road. Given these factors, I expect Al-Ahli to secure a comfortable win. My prediction: Al-Ahli to win
