Al Kholood
- Al Kholood are 13th in the Profesional League 2025-2026 table on 19 points from 21 games and Al Riyadh are 16th on 13 points.
- Kholood’s home form has been poor this season and they have won only three and lost eight of their 11 home fixtures in the Profesional League 2025/2026.
- Kholood concede 2.00 goals per home game, having conceded 22 times in 11 home matches this season, but Buckingham’s men sit deep and are more likely to counter-attack.
Al Riyadh
- Al Riyadh’s last games have seen them lose 1-0 at home to Al Nassr FC, lose 1-0 away to Neom SC and draw 1-1 at home with Al Khaleej.
- Al Riyadh have scored an average of just 0.80 goals per away game and concede an alarming 2.50 per game on their travels in the Profesional League 2025/2026.
Head-to-Head
- Riyadh, who haven’t won in five games, have the edge in the recent head-to-head record, having won two of the last three meetings while Kholood have one win.
- The visitors have never won at Kholood.
Key Players
- Mamadou Sylla leads the line for them with six goals in 20 league appearances, providing a focal point for their attacks.
- Enrique is their danger man, with 11 goals in 20 league games and two of Kholood’s last three.
Betting Insights
- Al Kholood are priced at 1.95 favorites to beat an out-of-form Al Riyadh on Thursday, but the visitors are worth a look at 3.38 and the draw at 3.44 is also tempting for this match in the Profesional League 2025-2026.
- Given Al Riyadh’s terrible away record and Kholood’s dodgy home record, Under 2.5 Goals at 1.8 looks a better alternative than backing the hosts to win at 1.95.
Prediction
However, the visitors have never won at Kholood and we are likely to see a low-scoring, tense game in which the hosts just shade the win.
