Comparative Team Statistics: Al Kholood vs Al-Qadisiyah FC

Head-to-head record

These two have met ten times across recent seasons, spanning both the Pro League and the second tier. Qadisiyah have won the last five in a row, including a 4-1 and a 4-0 in their favour, with Kholood's only win in the sample coming back in December 2022.

It's a lopsided recent record, though some of those meetings were played in different competitions and circumstances, so it's not a perfect like-for-like comparison with this fixture.

Where they stand

Seven games into the campaign, Qadisiyah sit fourth with 16 points from five wins, a draw and a loss, and a goal difference of plus eight. Kholood are seventh with 12 points from three wins, three draws and a loss, with a smaller plus two goal difference.

It's still an early snapshot of the season rather than a settled picture, but Qadisiyah currently have the better underlying numbers.

There's no flagged injury news to factor in here, and the card counts for both sides are low, with nobody carrying more than three yellows and no red cards in the sample.

What to expect

Both sides have shown they can score, and both have also shipped goals in recent weeks, so a tight, low-block game feels less likely than an open one. Kholood's draws suggest they can hang in against decent opposition, but Qadisiyah's scoring rate and recent head-to-head record give them the more convincing recent profile.

Discipline doesn't look like it'll be a major factor either way, with card counts modest on both sides this season.
