Matchday 16 in the Saudi Pro League sees Al-Kholood out to put an end to their unwanted run when they welcome high-flyers Al-Ahli to the Al-Hazem Club Stadium. Al-Kholood are in 13th place in the league standings, while Al-Ahli are in fourth place. Here's our match prediction.
Al-Kholood find themselves in a relegation dogfight in the Saudi Pro League. After 14 games, the home have amassed 12 points and are three points ahead of the red dotted line.
Last time out, they failed to assert their dominance against Al-Okhdood, suffering a 1-0 road defeat. While this extended their losing streak to two games, they've now lost four of their last five league games.
Home is not where the heart has been for the Pride of Ar Rass. At the Al-Hazem Club Stadium, they've lost five of their last seven matches. Additionally, they've lost three consecutive matches at this venue.
Al-Ahli sits outside the top three in the league standings. They are level on points with the top two sides, with an inferior goal difference holding them back.
Confidence has surely skyrocketed off the roof for Matthias Jaissle's men, who come into this match boasting a four-match winning streak in the Saudi Pro League.
In their latest match, they faced Al-Tawoon at home. The Royals came from a goal down and secured a narrow 2-1 victory. Ivan Toney scored the winner deep into stoppage time.

Our Al-Kholood vs Al Ahli Prediction
Al-Kholood have picked a tricky fixture in their bid to return to winning ways. They have lost three of their last four matches against Al-Ahli. Their last league game ended in a 4-1 road defeat.
Al-Ahli have not been the sharpest attacking team on the road this season. However, they are up against a side that's conceding 2.29 goals per game when playing at home. That said, expect them to exploit the home team's defensive vulnerabilities, which should lead to a high-scoring affair. Our Al-Kholood vs Al-Ahli prediction: more than 2.5 goals.
