1 : 3
Al-Qadsiah
Pro League
The only H2H match between the two teams was last October, when Al Qadsiah won 3-1 away from home. The guests almost doubled Neom SC's xG in that match, so their victory was well-deserved.
Al Qadsiah team overview
Al Qadsiah are excellent this season. They are six points behind the league leader, Al Hilal, and while the title may sound unrealistic, Al Qadsiah could at least hope for a place in the AFC Champions League. Al Qadsiah are undefeated in the last 11 matches. In the previous game, Brendan Rodgers played 1-1 at home against Al Fateh. The hosts deserved more in that match, as they ended with 69% ball possession and 15 shots on the goal more than the opponent.
Al Qadsiah are undefeated since Brendan Rodgers came in December. However, he was disappointed with the game against Al Fateh. He said, "I'm disappointed with this result. It was one of the worst matches I've seen since I arrived." After Rodgers' harsh words, we should expect a reaction from Al Qadsiah in the upcoming game against Neom SC.
Al Qadsiah are the third-best attacking team in the competition with 45 goals in 20 league rounds, but they scored only two goals in their previous two games. Al Qadsiah have to return to their usual attacking form to have any chances of competing with the best Saudi Arabian teams.

Neom SC team overview
Neom SC have a good debut season in the top flight of the Saudi Arabian football. They are a mid-table team and that shouldn't change significantly. Neom SC are undefeated in the last three matches. In the most recent outing, Christophe Galtier's team won 1-0 at home against Al Riyadh. The hosts finished with xG of 0.50, while the visitors had 1.42, so Neom SC could feel fortunate to have secured the victory.
Neom SC's head coach, Christophe Galtier, recently said he is disappointed with the repeated mistakes of some players. He even said that he might exclude some players from the starting lineup. Neom SC conceded only one goal in the last three matches, so maybe those harsh words had some effect.

Prediction
Al Qadsiah are excellent since Brendan Rodgers came in December. They went undefeated in 11 matches (eight wins), and it will not be surprising if we see them in the AFC Champions League next season. On the other hand, Neom SC have not won a road game in the previous three. Also, it is worth noting that Al Qadsiah won 3-1 in the only H2H match against Neom SC this season. We should expect Al Qadsiah to win and cover AH -1 spread on Thursday night.
4 Reasons why Al Qadsiah should win and cover AH -1 spread
- Al Qadsiah are undefeated in the last 11 matches
- Al Qadsiah have a 6-4-0 record at the home stadium this season
- Neom SC are without a victory in the previous three road games
- Al Qadsiah won 3-1 in the only H2H match against Neom SC
