Al-Riyadh vs Al-Ittihad: Where and how to watch?

Al-Ittihad are yet to concede as they travel to face Al-Riyadh

Matchday 3 in the Saudi Pro League 2023-24 brings you a contest between a mid-table side Al-Riyadh who are yet to lose and current league leaders Al-Ittihad who have yet to concede a goal.

While Riyadh witnessed Brazilian sensation Neymar being unveiled at Al-Hilal now the limelight will shift towards their newly promoted neighbours Al-Riyadh. After finishing fourth in Division 1 of the Saudi Arabian football system, they managed to get promoted.

How? For last season the Saudi Pro League decided to demote two teams while promoting four from Division 1 so as to make 18 teams participate in the 2023-24 Saudi Pro League season. This gave Al-Riyadh the wild card entry who have last been to the top tier way back in the 2004–05 season. Their season began fairly well considering they won their opener against Al-Wehda and settled for a draw against Damac FC.

Al-Ittihad on the other hand took home the winner’s medal from the 2022-23 Saudi Pro League season after finishing five points above Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Al-Nassr. And now after bringing a host of players who are cherished worldwide, they have plans to defend the title as well. Al-Ittihad managed to snatch away Karim Benzema from Real Madrid on a free transfer. And soon N’Golo Kanté and Fabinho followed suit. The club have started their title defence on a high given they are yet to concede and have all six points from the last two games.
