The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 29 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. Al Khaleej is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Al Ta’ee. Knowledge Musona struck first for Al Ta’ee in the 18th minute on a penalty, then Knowledge Musona added another in the 53rd minute In the end, Al Khaleej couldn’t muster any offence and Al Ta’ee ran away with the shutout win. Al Khaleej looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while in their last match, 9th placed Al Fateh, recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Abha. Tawfiq Buhumaid struck first for Al Fateh in the 5th minute on a feed from Christian Cueva, then Firas Albirakan added another in the 61st minute In the end, Abha couldn’t muster any offence and Al Fateh ran away with the shutout win. Al Fateh is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season.
Both Murad Batna and Firas Albirakan have been the hottest scorers for Al Fateh in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each. Abdelkader Bedrane and Lucas Souza are the top scorers for Al Khaleej in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
