Al Taee vs Al Khaleej tips and predictions

Interesting King Cup fixture should be entertaining

Al Khaleej are a level above Al Taee but it is hard to get excited about backing them.

All outcomes are possible here so be sure to do tonnes of research. With goals being far from abundant this could end up with clean-sheets at both ends and it's certainly not one to get carried away about. That said, the draw is the play from the 1X2.

Both sides should be confident of keeping it tidy in defence. Al Taee have averaged 0.6 goals in their last 5 starts which might not be ideal. Al Khaleej have only scored 0 times in their last 3 fixtures.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 4 of the last 8 have finished on level terms.

Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a battle of attrition. It's not standout value but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.

Al Taee have drawn 4 of their last 8 matches on their own soil. Further, Al Khaleej have drawn 7 of their last 19 matches. Their most recent tied match was when they shared the spoils with Al Feiha last Friday and while the prediction is for any draw, a scoreline of 0-0 might be a good shout here. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to be wary of but the draw warrants consideration. Stalemate is the pick after what looks set to be a close encounter.

Of course, Al Khaleej are a top tier side so it remains to be seen how Al Taee adapt adapt to the challenge.
