Al-Qadsiah vs Al-Wehda prediction, H2H and probable lineups - May 15, 2025
Al-Wehda
One of the fixtures of the 32nd round of the Saudi Arabian Championship will take place on Thursday in Dammam, where the local club Al-Qadsiah will host Al-Wehda. I'm suggesting a bet on goals in this clash, with strong chances for success.
Match preview
Al-Qadsiah enters this game in excellent form, sitting fourth in the Saudi Pro League table. Under the leadership of Jose Miguel Gonzalez, the team showcases tactical discipline, blending a solid defense with rapid counterattacks. They are particularly dominant at home, having secured 11 wins in 15 matches on their own turf.
Throughout the season, Al-Qadsiah has established itself as a strong and consistent side, especially in home fixtures. Their recent 1-0 victory over Al-Taawoun further strengthened their position and boosted the players’ confidence. Given their previous 3-0 win over Al-Wehda, the hosts are clearly determined to extend their winning streak.
Al-Wehda, meanwhile, has faced serious challenges this season and currently sits in the relegation zone at fifteenth place. Despite their struggles, Daniel Carreno’s squad has shown significant improvement in recent matches, winning four out of their last five games. Nevertheless, their inconsistency on the road remains their Achilles' heel.
The team is focusing on a more attacking style of football, but a shaky defense often negates their efforts up front. Their last home match against Al-Fateh was one of the few occasions where Al-Wehda managed to keep a clean sheet – 1-0. Against such an organized opponent as Al-Qadsiah, they will need to be extremely disciplined at the back to have any hope of a positive result.
Probable lineups
- Al-Qadsiah: Casteels, Takri, Lahami, Alvarez, Al-Ammar, Al Kantani, Hazazi, Almena, Aubameyang, Puertas, Quinones
- Al-Wehda: Owaishir, Alaeli, El Yamiq, Al-Hafith, Al Muwallad, Bacuna, Cretu, Goodwin, Bguir, Noor, Ighalo
