Al Qadsiah, who impressed after their promotion last season, are set to face Al Kholood, a team positioned solidly mid-table this season.
Al Qadsiah finished fourth last season in their return to the Saudi Pro League and invested significantly to acquire Mateo Retegui this summer. Their current record stands at four wins, two draws, and one loss from seven matches. However, they suffered a 2-0 defeat last week against Al Taawon.
Al Kholood has recorded three wins and four losses so far this season. They enter this match after two consecutive league defeats, including a 3-2 home loss to newly promoted Neom.
“Al Qadsiah finished fourth last year in their first season back in the Saudi Pro League and then spent heavily to sign Mateo Retegui over the summer.”
“The visitors come into this one on the back of back-to-back losses in the league, most recently losing 3-2 at home to newly-promoted Neom.”
Author’s summary: Al Qadsiah, after a strong comeback last season and key summer signings, face mid-table Al Kholood, who are struggling after recent losses this 2025-26 campaign.
