Club football is all set to come back after bidding goodbye to the final International break of 2024.

Al Fayha will welcome Al Ahli for their eleventh Saudi Pro League (SPL) fixture. They have been highly inconsistent this season and as a result, find themselves occupying one of the prime relegation spots. The Orange and Blue army will want to sit back and frustrate their opponents and then hit them on the counter. 

Al Ahli on the other hand have an upper hand coming into this game, thanks to their better run of form. They have won three of their last five games, including two back-to-back wins before the break. They will count upon their star-studded attacking lineup to take them over the line in this game. The Royals are ranked eighth on the table and a win on Friday could propel them to the sixth position.

Kick Off

Friday, November 22 at 8:20 PM IST

Venue: King Abdullah Sport City Stadium

Form

Al Fayha (in all competitions): L-D-W-D-L

Al Ahli (in all competitions): W-W-L-D-W

Players to watch 

Renzo López (Al Fayha)

The 30-year-old forward has established himself as one of the most influential players in Al Fayha’s attacking unit. He has been consistently finding the back of the net and has made the difference in a lot of games. The Uruguayan target man has six goal contributions in five goals and an assist in his debut season for his side. Standing at 6’2, Lopez possesses a huge aerial threat and is a sure-shot winner when it comes to aerial duels.

Riyad Mahrez (Al Ahli)

Riyad Mahrez is undoubtedly one of the best players in Saudi Arabia at the moment. His natural attacking instincts coupled with his variations and pace make him a key part of his team’s setup. He has been consistently dropping in match-winning performances over the past few weeks and is currently enjoying a great run of form. Mahrez is known for his playmaking, ball distribution and dazzling dribbling abilities on the pitch.
