Al Okhdood vs Al Fayha Prediction
Al Okhdood come into this one on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to a stumbling Al Nassr side at Al Awwal Park at the weekend. They took an early sixth minute lead in that game before Sadio Mane notched a brace either side of a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty. They have managed just three victories in their 16 matches so far this season. They face an Al Fayha side that returned from the Saudi Arabian winter break with a 2-1 defeat to Al Shabab in the quarter-finals of the King Cup of Champions before a 1-1 draw with Al Ittihad in which they took a 91st minute lead before conceding a few minutes later. They have been much-improved in terms of their performance level and a double chance bet in favour of the away team may appear a good bet for this one.
Al Okhdood vs Al Fayha Tip: Double chance – Al Fayha to win or draw
