Al Kholood Club will be seeking to rewrite their story against Qadisiya Khubar when the sides face off on 10 September 2026 at Ar-Rass Stadium. Despite recent improvements in their form, the hosts come into this clash with a challenging recent history against Qadisiya, who have been one of the league's in-form sides.

Looking at their previous meetings, Al Kholood Club have found it tough to overcome Qadisiya Khubar. In the last 10 encounters between these clubs, Qadisiya have come out victorious 8 times. Al Kholood managed just a single win and drew one match in that stretch, often struggling to contain their opponents’ attacking prowess. Notably, Qadisiya have beaten Al Kholood by two or more goals in six of those ten matchups.

The home side, however, can take heart from their improved performances in the Professional League this campaign. Across their last six matches, Al Kholood have three wins, two draws, and just one loss, scoring an average of 1.83 goals while conceding 1.5. Their recent home record is even better with three consecutive wins, 2.67 goals scored per game, and 1.33 conceded.

Digging deeper, Al Kholood have avoided defeat in eight of their last ten home matches in all competitions. However, a long-term trend reveals a split record: they've lost half of their last 22 at home, scoring only 1.09 while conceding 1.77 per match. Within the league, they've avoided defeat in 80% of their last 15 games and boast an 80% home unbeaten record over the past ten league outings.

Qadisiya Khubar, by contrast, arrive in menacing form. They are undefeated in 18 of their last 20 matches overall and have won 73% of their last 30, averaging an impressive 2.67 goals per game. Their away form is equally daunting, with 85% of the last 20 on the road completed without defeat. In the league alone, Qadisiya have won 22 out of their previous 30 matches, remaining unbeaten in 28 of them, and have kept five clean sheets in their last 12 away games.

Looking at recent fixtures, Al Kholood Club’s most notable victory came in a 3-1 result over Al Ahli. Despite having just 31% possession and only four shots, their efficiency in front of goal made the difference. In contrast, their 2-0 defeat to Al Riyadh was characterized by dominance in possession (60%) and total shots (14), but they lacked a clinical edge when it mattered most.

Qadisiya Khubar, on the other hand, have been a constant threat in attack. Their 3-2 victory over Al Ahli saw them hit the target seven times. Meanwhile, their control was apparent in the 2-0 win away to Al Dir'iya, where they enjoyed 60% possession and outshot their hosts. Even in a 3-3 draw against Ettifaq, Qadisiya showed their attacking intent by amassing 13 shots and a majority share of possession.

Analysing the expected formations and line-ups, Al Kholood have largely stuck to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 approach. Key picks include Hamed Al-Shanqity in goal and a backline that regularly features Edgaras Utkus, Ramzi Solan, Mansour Camara, and Shaquille Pinas. In midfield, John Buckley or Abdulrahman Al-Dawsari join regulars like Iker Kortajarena and Seydouba Cissé, with Coba da Costa and Julien Domingues providing support further forward. Up front, Domingues and Abdulaziz Al-Aliwa have rotated the central striking role.

Qadisiya Khubar almost always deploy a three-man defense, either in a 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1. Koen Casteels is ever-present in goal, while Jehad Thakri, Nacho Fernández, and Gastón Álvarez anchor the defense. The midfield is built around the creative touches of Mohammed Abu Al-Shamat, Tijjani Reijnders, and Christopher Bonsu Baah, with Julian Weigl adding composure. Mateo Retegui and Julián Quiñones lead the line and have contributed heavily to the scoring charts this season.
