Players to Watch

Toze (Al Riyadh)

The Portuguese midfielder is a key player for Al Riyadh. He is someone who is equally good in attack and in defence. Toze has a lot of experience playing in the Saudi Pro League and is a fan favourite as well.

He is capable of creating chances for his teammates via through balls and can score goals as well. He is short in stature but has got a good core strength which allows him to keep his balance. His performance will surely impact results in the upcoming game.

Moussa Dembele (Al Ettifaq)

Dembele is very good at backing up into defenders and gaining some territory or protecting the ball. His physicality and aerial duel ability provide an excellent outlet for the team to progress the ball upfield and quickly put the opposition’s backline under pressure. He is also a decent dribbler and can create trouble for the opponent team. Overall he is a player who is capable of making a difference on the pitch.
