Al Akhdoud
- Al Akhdoud have lost 4 of their last 5 matches, winning just once.
- With just 8 points from 15 matches, Al Akhdoud occupy a dismal 17th place in the Profesional League 2025-2026 table, 1 point shy of Al Riyadh in 16th spot.
Al Riyadh
- Al Riyadh have lost 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 fixtures.
- Al Riyadh’s form is also poor with 9 points from 14 fixtures, and Daniel Carreno, who took charge in November 2025, has pushed his team into a more aggressive and high-tempo style of play that hasn’t exactly paid dividends.
Head-to-Head
- Al Akhdoud have failed to win either of their last 2 home games against Al Riyadh.
- Al Riyadh have won their last 2 meetings.
Key Players
- Al Riyadh also set up in the 4-2-3-1 formation but are more forward-thinking, press higher up the pitch and look to overload in the final third.

Player stats:
- Juan Pedroza is the most likely goal threat in Al Akhdoud’s side as he has just 2 goals in 14 league appearances.
- Mamadou Sylla is the danger man for Al Riyadh with 6 goals in 14 league matches and the visitors will look to him to lead the line.

- The bookmakers are going with Al Akhdoud at 2.55 and Al Riyadh at 2.7, which suggests a draw or a close win either way is expected.
