Al Okhdood team overview
Al Okhdood secured promotion in the 2022/23 season and had two 15th-place finishes with only 33 and 34 points, coming very close to being relegated. This season, the team from Najran looked very bad from the very start, spending 18 of 19 rounds in the danger zone. Right now, they are in 17th place with just ten points - a terrible 0.53 points per game. Yet, since there are several other teams struggling this season, Al Okhdood are only two points away from the safe zone.
In the previous game against Neom SC, the team secured one point but lost three players from the starting lineup. Gokhan Gul and Saeed Al Rubaie suffered injuries, while Naif Asiri received a red card late in the game and is unavailable.

Al Hilal team overview
Al Hilal finished the last season without a single trophy, which is unacceptable considering the amount of money they invested. This season, the 21-time Saudi Arabian champs did well and are still undefeated across competitions. It seemed like they could run away with the title pretty early in the season, but after three draws, Al Nassr closed the gap and are now only one point away from the first-placed Al Hilal.
On 2nd February, a massive transfer happened in Saudi Arabia. Karim Benzema switched sides, leaving Al Ittihad for rivals Al Hilal. A 2022 Ballon d'Or winner signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Al Hilal and should make his debut against Al Okhdood.

Prediction
Al Okhdood are not in great form, but have lost only once in their last seven games by more than one goal difference. Also, at home, they were pretty good, losing just twice in the past seven games. Both of those losses were by 1:0. Moreover, Al Okhdood covered the +2 AH spread in 10 of 11 home games.
Al Hilal are on a mini-bad run, having three draws in a row. Additionally, on the road, Al Hilal have been significantly worse covering the -2 AH spread. In the 14 road matches across competitions, they had only one win by more than two goals' difference.
While we believe Al Hilal are a better team, we do not think they will win by more than one goal difference on the road, and an Al Okhdood to cover the +2 AH spread seems like a very good option for the upcoming tie.
3 Reasons why Al Okhdood should cover the +2 AH spread
- Al Okhdood haven't lost by two (or more) goals in the past four matches
- Al Hilal won by three (or more) goals difference just once in 14 road matches
- Al Hilal won the previous h2h game 1:0
