REF’s picks

Al-Kholood have shown significantly more attacking intent this season compared to an Al-Faisaly side that has struggled to find a rhythm, making the visitors the more reliable side here despite their recent heavy defeat. While Al-Faisaly's defensive stability in recent draws against mid-table teams suggests they won't roll over, the gulf in offensive quality makes the -0.25 handicap on Al-Kholood the best value entry.

1. 1Al-Kholood possess a more potent attacking threat, having registered wins against decent sides earlier in the campaign.
2. 2Al-Faisaly's struggle to secure wins even at home highlights their lack of a clinical edge in the final third.
3. 3The potential for a stalemate remains high given Al-Faisaly's recent draw-heavy run, which is why the -0.25 line is chosen to mitigate risk.
