Match preview

Al-Ahli Jeddah return to home territory looking to rebound from successive away league defeats, having fallen 3-1 to Al Kholood and 3-0 to Al-Hilal Saudi FC.

Toney leads their attack with four goals.

Al Riyadh arrive in twelfth position with four points from four matches, having picked up a 1-0 home victory against NEOM following a high-scoring 3-3 away draw with Al Shabab. Defensive vulnerabilities have been prominent for the visitors on the road, where they have conceded seven goals across two away fixtures, averaging 3.5 goals conceded per away league game.
