Al-Riyadh
DLWLDL
Following on from being beaten in their last game against Al-Nassr in Professional League action, Al-Riyadh and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that match, Al-Riyadh had 33% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 8 on target. The only player to score for Al-Riyadh was Faiz Selemani (45'). For their opponents, Al-Nassr got 19 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. Cristiano Ronaldo (56', 64') was the scorer for Al-Nassr.
It is worth noting that Al-Riyadh have failed to get amongst the goals over their last six clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 3. In those fixtures, Al-Riyadh have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 5. Such a trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, though.

Radhi Al-Otaibi (unknown injury) and Moussa Dembélé (Achilles tendon rupture) are unavailable for Al-Ettifaq .
📋 Team News: Al-Riyadh
Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Al-Riyadh boss to be concerned about. Enzo Roco (unknown injury) won’t be in action.
💡 Prediction
We believe that Al-Riyadh will have to play well to get anything against this Al-Ettifaq side who we think might well just have the edge.
We therefore see a good tussle with a 1-0 advantage for Al-Ettifaq at full-time.
Let’s see what happens.
