Al Kholood welcome NEOM SC at King Abdullah Stadium, Buraidah, Ar Rass on Wednesday, May 12 at 7:00 PM in a Saudi Professional League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Al Kholood come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). NEOM SC, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Al Kholood head into this on the back of a defeat, while NEOM SC arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Al Kholood and NEOM SC have split their 2 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in NEOM SC won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Al Kholood win or a draw looks most likely.
