Al Riyadh vs Al Wehda Prediction

Al Riyadh come into this one on the back of a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Al Ahli at King Abdullah Sports City in their most recent outing the other day. The home team have now managed just one victory in their last four matches since returning from the Saudi Pro League winter break. They face an Al Wehda side that have slipped into the bottom three and the relegation places ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures due to a 2-2 draw with Al Ettifaq the other day meaning that they have managed just one win in their last six matches. Despite their recent average form, Al Riyadh are the slight favourites for this one, especially with their home advantage.
