- Venue: King Abdullah Sports City Stadium (Buraidah)
Two Saudi Professional League teams, Al Fayha and Neom SC, will meet on Wednesday night. Both teams played well lately and will see the upcoming clash as a good opportunity for another victory. Can Al Fayha continue their winning streak at the home stadium? Let's break down the match and find the best betting option.
Al Fayha team overview
Al Fayha are better than last season, when they finished with only three points above the drop zone. In the current campaign, Pedro Emanuel's team is a mid-table team and shouldn't worry about the possible relegation. Al Fayha are in solid form lately, as they won four of their last six matches. In the most recent outing, Emanuel's team won 3-2 on the road against Al Taawon. The home side ended with an xG of 2.98, while the guests had only 0.94, but Al Fayha's much better efficiency and well-organized defense were enough for all three points.
After a big victory in the previous league round, Al Fayha's head coach, Pedro Emanuel, was very satisfied. He said, "We were the better team for much of the game, and the players showed great potential for improvement. Football is built on mistakes, and whoever makes more mistakes loses. We worked on that. I'm happy to have achieved my first victory on Al-Taawoun's home ground. Al-Taawoun is having a remarkable season and is one of the top five teams in Saudi Arabia."
Al Fayha are excellent at the home stadium lately. They won the last three games at Buraidah and will welcome Neom SC on Wednesday night with a lot of confidence.

Neom SC team overview
Neom SC are excellent in their debut season in the Saudi top flight. They are a mid-table team, and it seems unlikely that their position on the table will change significantly. Neom SC lost only one of the last five matches. Last weekend, they won 1-0 on the road against Al Khaleej. Although they scored only once, the visitors were a much better side, especially after Dimitrios Kourbelis' red card in the first half.
Neom SC's head coach, Christophe Galtier, didn't hide his excitement after a big victory against Al Khaleej. He commented, "It was an intense and difficult match. We didn't show the desired level in the first half, but we performed much better in the second half after the adjustments we made. I am satisfied with what the players showed today and their great collective commitment, which is what matters the most."
Although Neom SC are playing well in the last few weeks, that is not the case away from home. They won only one of the last five road matches.
