Al-Riyadh
DLWLDL
Since tasting defeat last time out to Al-Nassr in Professional League competition, Al-Riyadh and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, Al-Riyadh managed 33% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. The scorer for Al-Riyadh was Faiz Selemani (45'). For their opponents, Al-Nassr had 19 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. Cristiano Ronaldo (56', 64') scored 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.

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.
