Players to watch out for:

Julián Quiñones (Al-Qadisiyah)

The Mexican attacker is in red-hot form right now. In 14 league appearances, Julián Quiñones has registered 16 goals. He has scored in the last seven consecutive games and is one of the key reasons behind Al-Qadisiyah being in the top four. He can also drift to the left and play as a winger, which makes him difficult to contain.  

Malcom (Al Hilal)

The Brazilian attacker has been very consistent since his move to the Saudi Pro League. 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.

Malcom has scored four goals and has provided four assists in the current season across all competitions.
