Al Khaleej vs Al Orubah Prediction
Al Khaleej come into this one on the back of a frustrating 2-2 draw away to Al Riyadh at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium last week. They led 1-0 and 2-1, conceding a 92nd minute equaliser in that match to summarise what has been an inconsistent campaign. Al Orubah started the season very well but they have drifted significantly as the season has gone on and now appear almost destined to slip into the bottom three and Al Khaleej, especially with their home advantage, are expected to come out on top in this one.
