REF’s picks

Al Qadsiah enter this fixture in stellar form under Brendan Rodgers, sitting comfortably near the top of the table and boasting four wins from their last five outings. Al-Kholood have proven stubborn on home turf, but their heavy historical defeats against the visitors suggest a gulf in class that will be hard to bridge. Expect the visitors' superior attacking depth to secure all three points by the final whistle.

1. 1Al Qadsiah's strong league positioning and recent winning momentum give them a clear edge.
2. 2Al-Kholood have lost every single one of their previous four head-to-head encounters against Al Qadsiah.
3. 3Al-Kholood recently suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Al Riyadh, showing vulnerabilities that top sides can exploit.
