Editor’s Prediction
Saudi Arabia approach their remaining friendlies eager to showcase their quality and reaffirm their credentials on the international stage. The Green Falcons have only reached the World Cup knockout stages once in their history-back in the USA in 1994. Up against a modest Puerto Rico side, we don’t expect much resistance from the visitors and anticipate a comfortable win for Saudi Arabia, with a predicted scoreline of 2-0. Our pick: Saudi Arabia to win with a -1.5 handicap.
