Preview

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. Despite those road setbacks, the hosts delivered a commanding 4-0 win against Abha in their lone home league fixture and sit seventh in the standings with six points from four matches. Forward I. 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.

Recent head-to-head encounters heavily favor Al-Ahli, who are undefeated in their last four meetings with Al Riyadh, securing three wins and one draw while keeping clean sheets in three of those four matches.
