Both teams are level on points in the league table.

The Saudi Pro League will continue with a clash between Al Ahli and Al Raed in Jeddah up next. The Royals will hope to get back to winning ways after suffering a defeat against their arch-rivals Al Ittihad last week. Although they have struggled to keep up with the pace in their domestic league, Al Ahli have done wonders in the AFC Champions League Elite having won all of their four games, including a win on Monday. 

Al Raed on the other hand have enjoyed similar fortunes to their rivals. The Buraidah-based club are level on points in Al Ahli and are placed 10th in the standings with 11 points from three wins, two draws and four defeats. They will have to be on their toes and bring their best defensive performance to the table in order to neutralize the danger possessed by Al Ahli’s star-studded frontline.

Players to watch 

Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)

Ivan Toney has been firing on all cylinders for Al Ahli this season. The English striker has five goal contributions in the Saudi top tier this season with three goals and two assists. His physical strength, attacking prowess and goal-scoring instincts make him an undisputed starter.

He is a beast inside the box and also excels in linkup play for his side. He is also known for his free kicks and positioning.

Amir Saâyoud (Al Raed)

The Algerian forward is one of the most influential players for Al Raed. He is a versatile forward and can play anywhere across the frontline and also as an attacking midfielder if required. Amir has found the back of the net three times and has also provided two assists so far in the league this season.

His ball distribution coupled with his experience and ability to score screamers have earned him a lot of praise.
