Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Saudi Arabia and Yemen take on each other at King Saud University Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting game. Saudi Arabia did well to crush Palestine 5-0 in their last qualifier, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. French tactician Herve Renard is doing a great job with the Green Falcons, and seeing that they head into the match high on spirits, home win should be considered.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Al-Ittihad attacker Fahad Al Muwallad, who has netted 14 goals in 58 appearances for the national team. Yemen, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of Group D, and given their display in a 2-1 loss to Singapore, we believe that punters can find value in betting on Herve Renard’s troops.
