Al-Ettifaq

Al Kholood host Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League. Both sides have had a bit of a mixed start to the season, sitting just either side of mid-table.

These two have met four times over the past couple of seasons, and the results have gone both ways. That head-to-head record doesn't point to any clear pattern, so it's the recent matches and the table that give the better guide here.

Al-Ettifaq's equivalent record is seven wins, six draws and seven losses from 20 games, with 34 scored and 32 conceded. They've shown they can find the net but have also leaked goals, including some heavy defeats along the way.

Neither side has been especially settled recently, and Al-Ettifaq's numbers hint at slightly more inconsistency.

There's no head-to-head edge to lean on here.

After seven league games, Al Kholood sit seventh with 12 points from three wins, three draws and a loss. Al-Ettifaq are just below them in ninth, on 11 points from three wins, two draws and two defeats.

9 Al-Ettifaq 7 3 2 2 11/11 11
10 Al-Hazm 7 2 2 3 7/9 8

Goal difference also edges slightly in Al Kholood's favour, having scored 12 and conceded 10, compared with Al-Ettifaq's 11 scored and 11 against.

It's a tight picture, with barely anything separating the two sides in the table.

With the table this tight and both teams showing patchy form, there isn't a clear enough edge to make a confident case either way.

We'd rather wait for clearer signals closer to kickoff than force a pick now.
