Al-Akhdoud
In their last match, Al-Akhdoud secured a 2-1 victory at home against Al-Raed. This win ended a three-match losing streak in the league. Al-Akhdoud has struggled with consistency this season, especially in defense, conceding in each of their last five matches. They currently sit in the lower half of the table and need to improve their home form to climb up the standings.
- The team has won 2 of their last 5 home matches in the league (2 wins, 3 losses).
- Al-Akhdoud has conceded at least one goal in each of their last five home games.
- In 4 of Al-Akhdoud's last 6 home matches, both teams have scored.
Al-Fayha
Al-Fayha comes into this match on the back of a 1-1 draw away against Al-Ittihad. The team has shown resilience on the road, remaining unbeaten in their last three away games. Al-Fayha's defense has been solid, conceding only three goals in their last five matches. They are currently in mid-table and aim to push for a higher position with a win in this fixture.
- The team is unbeaten in their last three away matches in the league (1 win, 2 draws).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of Al-Fayha's last 5 away games.
- Al-Fayha has kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 5 away matches.
Al-Akhdoud vs. Al-Fayha: Match Prediction
Al-Akhdoud will look to build on their recent home win, but their defensive vulnerabilities could be a concern against Al-Fayha, who have been strong on the road. Al-Fayha's organized defense might prove challenging for Al-Akhdoud's attack, which has been inconsistent this season. Given the form and defensive records of both teams, this match is likely to be a closely contested affair.
