Form Guide and Tactical Overview

Al Akhdoud’s recent form has been inconsistent, with 3 wins in their last 10 matches and an average of just 0.7 goals scored per game. Defensively, they’ve been vulnerable, conceding 1.7 goals per match. However, their ability to control possession has improved, with a projected 65% ball possession in this fixture—significantly higher than their season average of just under 41%.

Al-Raed, on the other hand, have struggled even more, managing only 1 win in their last 10 outings. Their attack has been more productive, averaging 1.4 goals per game, but defensive frailties remain a concern, with 2.4 goals conceded per match. Notably, 7 of their last 10 games have seen over 2.5 goals, highlighting their open style of play.

Historical Context and Head-to-Head

The last meeting between these sides saw Al-Raed secure a 3-1 win over Al Akhdoud, defying the odds at the time. Both teams have produced unpredictable results in recent months, with Al Akhdoud holding Al Shabab to a goalless draw away and Al-Raed pulling off a shock win against Al-Ettifaq.

Looking at the bigger picture, Al Akhdoud have shown gradual improvement since their promotion, stabilizing their home form and increasing their attacking output. Al-Raed, traditionally a mid-table side, have found it difficult to maintain consistency on the road.
