Al Kholood aiming to recover

They have been unbeaten at home this season, winning all three of their matches there. However, they will enter this game looking to respond after losing 2-0 to Al Riyadh in their previous outing.

A further home victory would allow Al Kholood to draw on their perfect record in front of their own supporters, despite the recent setbacks in their head-to-head record against Al Qadsiah.

Al Qadsiah sit fourth with 16 points. They have recorded five victories and one draw in their past seven matches, underlining the consistency that has taken them into the upper reaches of the table.

Their most recent match ended in a 2-1 victory over Al Wasl. The club have also won all three of their away matches in their current run, a record that strengthens their prospects of taking another positive result on the road.
