Al-Ahli
In their last outing, Al-Ahli secured a 2-1 victory against Al-Raed, ending a three-match winless streak in the league. The team currently sits in the middle of the table, and a win in this match could potentially boost them into the top half. Al-Ahli has been strong at home, winning three of their last five matches at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium.
- The team has scored at least two goals in 4 of their last 5 home matches in the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Kholood
Al-Kholood, on the other hand, suffered a 0-3 defeat to Al-Ittihad in their previous match. The team has struggled on the road, failing to secure a win in their last four away matches. Al-Kholood is currently fighting to avoid relegation, and they need to turn their fortunes around quickly to ensure their survival in the league.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last 4 away matches in the Saudi Pro League (1 draw, 3 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 3 of Al-Kholood's last 5 away games in this tournament.

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
