Al Ettifaq will host Al Kholood at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium on Thursday, 28 August, in what promises to be an intriguing Pro League clash. Al Ettifaq enters the match with a solid recent form, securing three wins out of their last five matches, while Al Kholood has had a more inconsistent run, with two wins and three losses in their last five outings. Historically, the head-to-head record shows a slight edge for Al Ettifaq, who have won two of the last ten encounters, although both teams have struggled to find the net consistently in these matchups, with only one game seeing over 2.5 goals.
One key angle to consider is Al Ettifaq's home advantage, where they have performed well this season. With odds of 2.15 for a home win, it reflects confidence in their ability to secure three points.
