Command Analysis
Al Riyadh
Saudi ArabiaCurrent form
Al-Riyadh has been showing confident results this season. The team does not have any star players, so they have to rely on team play, and it works out well, because after 13 matches played, the team is in seventh place in the ranking with 21 points. They managed to score 16 goals in all the matches and missed the same number.
What is noteworthy is that the hosts are not showing very good results on their home field. In the four previous matches they failed to win even once, and lost three times. But bookmakers still believe in the team's success, as they have made it a slight favorite.

Al Khaleej
Saudi ArabiaCurrent form
Al-Khaleej, unlike their upcoming opponent, lost their last two matches in the national championship and dropped from sixth to eighth place in the ranking. The club plays away games well. If we go into detail, the visitors came out on top in three of the four previous matches. In the top 9, they are the only team that conceded more than they scored: 16-17. In the last match, which took place at the end of December as part of a friendly game with Al-Arabi, the visitors of the upcoming match won with a score of 3:1. The upcoming opponent is much more difficult, and it will be very difficult to take points in this match.

The visiting team has no losses ahead of the match against Al-Riyadh.
Interesting trends for betting

- The visitors have conceded in four of the last five meetings

1.72Tip and bets
Al-Riyadh cannot boast of scoring in home matches. In four previous matches, the total has never exceeded 2.5 goals. Al-Khaleej, in turn, is not used to dictating the terms of the game, and the opponent is not weaker in terms of play to take the initiative into their own hands on the road. We are inclined to think that in this meeting the teams will be cautious and will not be able to score more than twice between them.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.80
Bet on the outcome
The hosts are in seventh place in the tournament table, and the guests are in eighth. This suggests that the teams are of approximately the same level and no one will try to jump above their heads.
According to statistics, after three head-to-head encounters in which one of the teams wins, the teams play the fourth match in a draw. This has been the case for the last eight meetings, and in the three previous head-to-head games there was no draw. So we will bet that this time the teams will end in peace.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.30
Bet on corners
In three of the last four head-to-head matches, the teams have taken no more than nine corners between them. We are inclined to believe that the over-total for corners will not be broken this time either.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.85
