A contest between sides with different league objectives

Al Riyadh last faced Al Tai in the Saudi Pro League. That game saw them lose 2-1 with Abdullah al-Khaibari also getting sent off with a straight red card. Odair Hellmann’s team are hanging above the relegation zone in the 15th position just because of a better goal difference than Abha.

Al Ahli are far off from a place in the AFC Champions League group stage qualification spot. They are 16 points below Al Nassr and sit in third place currently. Their one player also got sent off with a red last match in the league. After a 1-1 draw with Al Wehda and a red to Abdulbasit Hindi, Matthias Jaissle’s side now prepares to face Al Riyadh.
