Players to watch out for:

Malcom (Al-Hilal)

The former FC Barcelona attacker has been very consistent since his move to Al Hilal. He is very versatile and can operate both as a right winger and an attacking midfielder. He has an excellent passing range and can unlock any defence.

He made three key passes against Al Orobah and assisted one goal as well. Malcom has had five direct goal contributions in his previous six games.

Mourad Batna (Al Fateh)

The Moroccan is an integral part of the midfield of Al Fateh. He can also play an advanced role for his team as evident in his previous game. He is an intelligent player and you can rely on him to make the right decision in almost all situations. He also presses the ball relentlessly and adds a lot of intensity to the game.
