REF’s picks

Al-Khaleej has shown resilience at home recently, notably holding a strong Al Nassr side to a draw, and they should be able to edge this encounter against a struggling Al-Fayha. While Al-Fayha is capable of finding the net, their defensive vulnerability makes the -0.25 handicap the most logical entry, as it offers cover for a share of the spoils.

1. 1Al-Khaleej's improved home form against quality opposition suggests they are finding their footing.
2. 2Al-Fayha has been inconsistent on the road and lacks the defensive cohesion to secure a clean sheet here.
3. 3The potential for a tight tactical stalemate means the draw is a persistent risk that negates a straight win bet.
