Al Qadsiah vs Al Khaleej Prediction

Al Qadsiah come into this one on the back of a very impressive 2-1 defeat of Al Nassr at Al Awwal Park last weekend thanks to goals from Julian Quinones and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after Al Nassr had gone ahead via Cristiano Ronaldo in the 32nd minute. They have now enjoyed five successive victories across all competitions. Al Khaleej are also punching above their weight so far this season, though, as they remarkably defeated Al Hilal by three goals to two after being 2-0 down, ending Al Hilal’s 46-match unbeaten run in the Pro League. Al Khaleej are in excellent form and this could be a genuinely entertaining game for the neutral in which both teams scoring looks a good bet.
