Al Riyadh (home)
- Al Riyadh have been better at home than away recently, winning one and drawing one of their last two in the Saudi capital.
- Al Riyadh has won only three of 14 home league games.
Al-Qadsiah Al Khubar (away)
- Al-Qadsiah have won nine of their 14 away games in the league this season, scoring 32 goals, while Al Riyadh has won only three of 14 home league games.
- Al-Qadsiah drew their last two matches - 1-1 at Damac FC and 2-2 at home to Al Shabab.
- Rodgers has created a high-tempo, attacking team that are both tactically versatile and full of confidence, playing with the ball or when they are chasing the game.
Head-to-Head
Rodgers’ men have not won in their last trip to this ground but all the signs point to them collecting another away victory here.
Key Players
- Dulac has a 4-2-3-1 system where the two ‘eights’ sit in front of the defence and organise play, both forwards and attacks are structured and limited to the width of the central strikers.
-
Key player chances:
- Julian Quinones
- Quinones has scored 26 goals in 26 games in the league this term and should have a chance to add to that here, having netted four times in Al-Qadsiah’s last five.
- Leandro Antunes
- Al Riyadh’s Leandro Antunes has three in his last five.
- Julian Quinones
Betting Insights
- Backing BTTS - Yes at 1.53 looks attractive, given the contrasting styles of the clubs and their current form, while Over 2.5 goals is a massive 1.36.
- An Al-Qadsiah away win at 1.42 is the pick of the match result bets because Rodgers’ men are clear favorites for the match.
Prediction
Al-Qadsiah Al Khubar should take another step towards their self-proclaimed top-four ambition when they travel to Al Riyadh to take on the underperforming hosts on Wednesday.
