Al Wehda vs Al Riyadh Prediction & Betting Tips (22 August)

Al Wehda last graced the top-flight, ending that campaign by losing eight of their last 12 matches of the regular season, so a return to this level could represent a significant step up in class. Al Riyadh are probably not the opponents that they would have chosen to face, with Al Wehda boasting eight wins from ten games of late.

None of the last nine Al Wehda home games in the Saudi Professional League have produced more than a couple of goals, with the net bulging a grand total of ten times across these contests. Not only that, but each of the previous five Al Riyadh matches at this level has followed the same pattern, so it would come as a surprise to see three goals or more.

Both teams have found the net in just four of the most recent 17 Al Wehda home fixtures at the top table of the Saudi Professional League, whilst they have drawn a blank themselves in five of their last six Saudi Professional League games overall. As for Al Riyadh, they have either kept a clean sheet or failed to score in five of their previous six away encounters at this elite level of the domestic game.
