Al Kholood vs Al Ettifaq Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2024-25

The hosts emerged as the winners against the Knight of Ad-Dahna previously this season.

Al Kholood are all set to host Al Ettifaq in match week 31 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. The important league contest between the two Saudi sides will take place at the Al-Hazm Club Stadium.

Al Kholood will be at home but will not be feeling very confident here as they are on a poor run. If they continue with this form, they might end up in the relegation zone soon. Even though they have previously defeated Al Ettifaq this season, it is not going to be an easy contest for them this time around.

Al Ettifaq are placed seventh on the Saudi Pro League points table. After contesting in 30 league fixtures, they have emerged victorious in 12 matches. Although they have lost to the hosts once this season, it will be different this time as the visitors have seen some positives in their last few Saudi league games.

Kick-off:

• Location: Al-Rass, Saudi Arabia
• Stadium: Al-Hazm Club Stadium,
• Date: Saturday, May 10
• Kick-off Time: 21:50 IST/ 16:20 GMT/ 11:20 ET/ 08:20 PT

Players to Watch

Myziane Maolida (Al Kholood)

Myziane Maolida has scored 13 goals in 30 league games this season and will be looking to add more to his tally this time around. Al Kholood are desperate for a win here. The 26-year-old Frenchman can help them achieve so.

It will take some help from his fellow teammates, which can set him in the final third.

Georginio Wijnaldum (Al Ettifaq)

The 34-year-old Dutch forward will be in action once again for Al Ettifaq. Georginio Wijnaldum is coming in after scoring a brace in the previous Saudi Pro League fixture against Al Khaleej. The Dutch forward will be an important asset for the visitors in the upcoming league game as well.
