Al-Akhdoud
Al-Akhdoud secured their second consecutive victory in the last round with a four-goal margin. Furthermore, the team scored five goals for the first time in this tournament's history.

- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Al-Akhdoud's last 7 away games.

Al-Qadisiyah vs. Al-Akhdoud: Match Prediction
After moving up a division, Al-Qadisiyah has faced challenges, but they have shown resilience at home, even against higher-ranked opponents. The team prefers a defensive approach, aiming for positive results, and has conceded only one goal in their last two home matches. However, Al-Qadisiyah has yet to score in this tournament after four matches.
Al-Akhdoud's performance varies significantly between home and away games. At home, they scored nine goals in two matches and collected six points, while away, they have earned just one point and scored only twice. In 6 of Al-Akhdoud's last 7 away games, they have not scored more than one goal. Meanwhile, they have conceded a maximum of one goal in 7 of their last 10 away matches.
Considering all factors, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
