Players to watch out for:

Malcom (Al Hilal)

The Brazilian attacker has been very consistent since his move to the Saudi team. 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 is a player who cannot be judged on stats alone, as he offers many things to a team. Despite that, Malcom has registered eight goals and six assists in the ongoing league campaign.

Yannick Carrasco (Al Shabab)

The former Atletico Madrid winger recently returned from a long-term injury. He even registered two assists in his previous four matches. He is technically sound and very effective in 1v1 situations.

His experience will be vital for his side to finish the season on a strong note. Fans will expect him to give a great performance against the defending champions.
