One of the matches of the 33rd round of the Saudi Arabian Championship will take place on Tuesday at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium, where the local side Al-Qadsiah will host Al-Oruba. Here’s a bet suggestion for this clash with an attractive odds.
Match preview
José Miguel González Martín del Campo’s team has been showcasing confident play across all areas of the pitch, steadily closing in on a high finish to the season. Al-Qadsiah continues to rack up points thanks to a blend of solid defense and aggressive attacking football, especially at home, where the club has claimed 12 wins in 16 matches. Their strategy, focused on rapid counterattacks, has paid dividends, especially against sides with shaky defenses.
The team's consistent results leave little doubt about their ability to maintain a leading position as the league draws to a close. Currently, the club sits third in the table with 65 points—six behind Al-Hilal and just one ahead of Al-Nassr. Recent fixtures have underlined their high level of preparation, with a particularly impressive 3-1 win over Al-Wehda once again emphasizing the strength of their attacking line.
On the other hand, Antonio Casorla Reche’s squad is going through a rough patch, struggling to find their rhythm as the season nears its end. After a 2-1 home defeat to Al-Khaleej, the club remains in 16th place and is at risk of dropping into the relegation zone. Defensive frailty and poor conversion of chances remain the main issues the team has yet to resolve.
Especially concerning is their away form—just four wins in 16 away matches is far from impressive. Attacking woes are also evident: only one win in the last five games, and that came against mid-table Al-Riyadh. To stand a chance against a strong opponent, Al-Oruba will need to significantly improve both their defensive solidity and attacking efficiency.
Probable lineups
- Al-Qadsiah: Casteels, Takri, Lahami, Alvarez, Al-Ammar, Al Qantani, Hazazi, Almena, Aubameyang, Puertas, Quiñones
- Al-Oruba: Koke, Al-Khalaf, Kandous, Al-Shuwaish, Zouma, Al-Zubaidi, Tello, Mukhar, Abu Taha, Gudmundsson, Al-Somah
