Detailed Analysis
Al-Ettifaq welcome Al-Khaleej to the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium for a crucial Saudi Pro League encounter on May 2, 2025. With both sides aiming to stabilize their seasons, a tight battle is anticipated.
Al-Ettifaq are looking to bounce back after a 3-2 loss to Al-Ittihad. Despite their defeat, they have shown strong form at home recently, managing to keep games tight and scoring crucial goals when needed. Notably, they’ve struggled with clean sheets, conceding in five of their last six games.
Al-Khaleej, meanwhile, have been involved in high-scoring encounters but continue to show defensive vulnerabilities. Their last six matches have averaged over three goals per game, but their attack often struggles to deliver consistently away from home.
Head-to-head history favors Al-Ettifaq, who have won the last two meetings against Al-Khaleej (2-1 and 2-0), and are unbeaten in three.
Given Al-Ettifaq’s home strength and Al-Khaleej’s inconsistent away form, Al-Ettifaq to Win is the strongest betting pick. Additionally, considering both teams’ recent defensive records and tighter head-to-head scorelines, Under 2.5 Goals also offers value.
In conclusion, expect Al-Ettifaq to control proceedings and likely edge out a narrow win, possibly 1-0 or 2-0.
