Al Fateh vs Al Riyadh Lineups, prediction, betting tips & odds

The hosts are in a rut with the worst position in the league standings.

Given the stakes and their position, this Saudi Pro League game is far from a clash. It’s a match between the two low-riders in the league. Al Fateh and Al Riyadh have not been even as close to a dream run, and now, they are going to have to scrap with each other.

But out of the two, Al Fateh have majorly let their fans down. The expectations weren’t too much to ask for. Just remain in the middle of the table, somewhere. But they aren’t.

So far at the start of this season, they are sitting at the bottom of the pile with no ‘out’ in sight. On the flip side, they would host their visitors, Al Riyadh, who have been mediocre, and guess that’s why they are around the middle of the table region.

Mourad Batna (Al Fateh)

Keeping an eye on Batna is hard because he hardly gets on the scoreboard. No goals, no assists, and yet he can hurt the opposition’s defence in a match. So far he only has one goal in the league, but the 34-year-old Moroccan has enough experience to affect the outcome of the game.

Toze (Al Riyadh)

Name one Portuguese player without sauce. Toze’s name might not be on the tip of your tongue for once, but he is a key piece in the midfield for Riyadh. 3 G/A so far, plus threading passes outta nowhere, that’s the kind of player who knows how to wreak havoc in the middle of the pitch.

Match Facts

Injury and team news

Al Fateh head into their clash with Al Riyadh boasting a fully fit squad, with no injuries or suspensions to disrupt their plans. The hosts are expected to field an unchanged lineup.

Al Riyadh, however, remain without 32-year-old Peruvian centre-back Enzo Roco, who has been sidelined for the rest of the season. Despite his absence, the visitors are also likely to maintain consistency in their starting eleven for this encounter.
