Al Orubah vs Al Riyadh Prediction

The home team come into this one on the back of a much-needed 1-0 defeat of Al Fayha in their most recent outing last weekend thanks to a 90th minute Emmanuel Boateng winner. Prior to that victory against bottom-of-the-table opposition, though, Al Orubah had suffered four successive defeats in the Pro League. They face an inconsistent Al Riyadh side that will be content with their current mid-table position but siding with Al Orubah, especially with their home advantage, looks the way to go for this one.
