Al Qadsiah vs Al Khaleej Lineups, prediction, betting tips & odds

With a win, the visitors can get level on points with the hosts.

The Saudi Pro League (SPL) is gearing up to host one of its most captivating fixtures as Al Qadsiah welcome Al Khaleej to their backyard. Al Qadsiah come into this game on the back of a shocking victory against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr in their last outing. They have won all of their last five fixtures across all competitions and are flying high on confidence. The Knights of the East are placed fifth on the table with 22 points in hand.

But, standing in their way will be Al Khaleej who pulled off the unthinkable in their last game as well. The Pearls brought down the defending champions Al-Hilal with a five-star performance and brought an end to Al-Hilal’s 46-game unbeaten run. They are firing on all cylinders and are one of the most dangerous sides to play against at the moment. If they manage to secure a win on Friday, they will go level on points with their opponents.
