Players to Watch
Ruben Neves (Al Hilal)
The Portuguese midfield sensation continues to perform well for Al Hilal. In his last three games, Ruben Neves has six goal involvements. He is going to be a constant threat to the opponents with the ball at his feet. The 28-year-old regulates the ball well in the midfield and is surely capable of scoring goals.
Fashion Sakala (Al Fayha)
Even though he has not been in a top performance this season, Fashion Sakala is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Al Fayha. In 13 Saudi Pro League appearances this season, he has five goal contributions. Sakala will be looking to step up his game and will be keen to put in top efforts.
