Al Khaleej vs Al Wehda Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The hosts have already taken down Al Wehda in a league encounter once this season.
Al Khaleej are ready to host Al Wehda on the matchday 25 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 edition. The hosts are in 11th place after winning eight of their 24 league games this season. The visitors on the other hand are at the bottom of the table as they have only been able to win four matches in the same number of games.
Al Khaleej will be at home but their confidence levels might not be up to the mark because of their last few results in the Saudi Pro League. They were held to a draw by Al-Ahli in their last league fixture. Al Khaleej could’ve secured three points but they conceded a goal in the final moments.
Al Wehda are in the relegation zone and might even get demoted this season if they do not make a comeback from this point. They still have a good number of matches in their hands to react with positivity. Al Wehda have to be consistent, which will surely help them get out of the relegation zone. They are coming in after securing a win over Al Raed in their last league game.

Players to Watch
Abdullah Al Salem (Al Khaleej)

Odion Ighalo (Al Wehda)
The 35-year-old Nigerian forward is going to play a crucial role upfront for Al Wehda. Their attacking rate is not the best in the league. Odion Ighalo has scored six goals in 23 league matches. The upcoming league contest is an important one and Ighalo will have to prove his attacking rate here.
