Al-Fayha Club vs Al-Kholood Club

Early in the new Saudi Pro League season, both sides have plenty to prove when Al Fayha host Al Kholood at Majmaah Sports City Stadium. Al Fayha sit near the bottom without a win in three games, while Al Kholood, who only avoided relegation via play-offs last season, seek to build on a brighter start. Al Fayha have lost to Neom and Al Hilal and drew blank against Al Taawoun, with new signing Hugo Moura their brightest spark. Al Kholood, under coach Des Buckingham, opened with a solid draw at Al Ittihad and will lean on forward Ramiro Enrique, last season's top scorer. The sides have met four times since 2025, Al Kholood winning twice — including a 5-0 rout in January — to one win for Al Fayha. With Al Fayha still winless and Al Kholood the more balanced side early on, expect a tight, low-scoring affair. Our prediction: 1-1
