NEOM SC vs Al-Khaleej Club

Neom SC host Al Khaleej at King Khalid Sport City, and this one matters far more for the visitors. Neom SC sit eighth and can climb into the top half with a win, while Al Khaleej are stuck in the bottom four, winless in nine straight matches across all competitions. Neom have won two and lost two of their first four league games and hold the edge in this fixture, having beaten Al Khaleej and drawn with them in their last two encounters. Alexandre Lacazette and Said Benrahma lead the attack. Al Khaleej, meanwhile, have drawn three of four without a win, conceding six goals, and need more from Joshua King and Konstantinos Fortounis. Home advantage and Al Khaleej's shaky defence make Neom the clear favourites, though a side that keeps drawing won't fold easily. Our prediction: 2-1
