Overview: Tight contest at Al Majma'ah
Al-Fayha welcomes Al Kholood to Al Majma'ah Sports City Stadium on 03/01/2026 in what shapes up to be a compact, competitive Pro League clash. The home side sit 11th with 12 points from 11 games, while Al Kholood are propping up the lower end in 13th on nine points. Bookmakers make Al-Fayha the favorite at 2.10, a sensible reflection of home form and Al Kholood’s troubles away from home. The match arrives after contrasting recent results: Al-Fayha were beaten 2-0 by Al Ahli on 30 December, while Al Kholood fell 3-1 to Al Hilal a day later. Both teams will be hungry to arrest a slide and pick up momentum in round 13.
Form, tendencies and what the numbers tell us
Al-Fayha have shown patchy form — two wins, three draws and five defeats in their last ten — yet their home numbers are stronger than the visitors’ away record. At Al Majma'ah the hosts have scored four and conceded three, with three clean sheets already to their name this season. Al Kholood, by contrast, have managed just three away goals while shipping ten on their travels and have yet to keep an away clean sheet. Overall attacking and defensive profiles point to an uneven pattern: Al Kholood register a high proportion of matches over 2.5 goals (72.7% overall), while Al-Fayha also cross the 2.5 threshold in more than half of their outings (54.6%). Head-to-head history adds spice — Al Kholood beat Al-Fayha 2-0 in May — but that result came with the roles reversed and does little to negate the current home-edge.
Key angles for bettors
This is a match where context matters: Al-Fayha’s capacity to defend at Al Majma'ah and the visitors’ poor away defensive record tilt expectation towards a home success. The goal market is tempting given the high over-2.5 rates overall, but Al Kholood’s away production is modest and Al-Fayha’s recent results show streaky scoring.

Betting suggestion Based on form, home/away splits and the odds, the best single-market pick is 1X2: Al-Fayha to win (odds 2.10). The hosts have the clearer path to three points at Al Majma'ah — they concede less at home, possess three clean sheets this term, and Al Kholood have struggled to score on the road. Play a measured stake and consider combining this confidence with conservative bankroll rules.
