REF’s picks

Both teams to score is a strong entry here, backed by Al-Kholood's leaky defense and Al-Khaleej's recent attacking output. Al-Kholood have struggled badly with five straight defeats, conceding heavily in almost every outing, while their opponents have shown enough spark going forward to find the net regularly.

1. 1Al-Kholood have conceded 18 goals in their last five matches, leaving their backline vulnerable to any sustained pressure.
2. 2Al-Khaleej arrive in decent scoring form with 11 goals across their previous five fixtures.
3. 3Al-Kholood's desperate search for points at home could leave spaces at the back, though their own attack has managed to score in several recent losses.
