Al Khaleej vs Al Najma prediction 28.04.2026 | Saudi Pro League

Al-Khaleej come into this game with mixed recent form. Their last five league matches have produced only one win: they recently lost 1-0 to Al Fateh and 5-0 at home to Al Nassr, but did earn a credible 2-2 draw away to Al Kholood.

At home, Al-Khaleej have generally been more competitive with 5 wins and 2 draws from 13 fixtures at Al-Khaleej Club Stadium. Joshua King has been their standout performer with 14 league goals, accounting for a significant percentage of their attacking output. Defensively, however, clean sheets have been rare, and they have conceded in 11 consecutive league matches. 

No major fresh injury concerns have been widely reported ahead of this clash, so Georgios Donis is expected to field a strong lineup.

Al-Najma’s situation looks increasingly bleak. They have lost eight of their last 10 league matches and have conceded 31 goals across that stretch - an alarming average of 3.1 per game. Their recent results include a 5-2 defeat to Al-Nassr, a 4-0 loss to Al-Hilal, and a 3-1 home defeat against Damac. A rare bright spot came in a 2-1 win over Neom SC, but consistency has been non-existent. 

Nestor El Maestro’s side are desperate for points, but their defensive fragility continues to undermine any attacking promise. There are no confirmed major injury absences, though Mohammed Al Aqal is expected to sit out another game following his red card against Neom SC.
