Game Prediction
On December 5, 2024, in the 13th round of the Saudi Pro League, Al-Wehda will host Al-Okhdood. Both teams have struggled this season and will view this encounter as an opportunity to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Our Prediction for the Match: Al-Wehda vs Al-Okhdood
The Knights of Mecca have a storied history, having won the Saudi league and the King’s Cup in the past. However, they have since fallen behind in the domestic football hierarchy. Last season, they finished 13th, while the Blues had an even tougher campaign, finishing 15th, just one point above relegated Abha.
This season, Al-Wehda's struggles continue. Their recent 1-0 win over Al-Taawoun was only their second victory of the campaign amid numerous losses. In the last round, they narrowly lost to Al-Ahli. Similarly, Stepan Tomas' Al-Okhdood is at risk of relegation this season. Their latest setback was a 1-2 defeat to Al-Kholood.
