Al Riyadh vs Al Ettifaq Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

The Knight of Ad-Dahna emerged victorious when these sides last faced each other.

Al Riyadh are all set to lock horns with Al Ettifaq for their matchweek 11 fixture of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. This is going to be an interesting outing between these clubs, which is going to take place at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.

The hosts are going to be under pressure as they have underperformed in their last four games. They are in 14th place on the league table. Al Riyadh SC have only been able to secure two wins in nine league contests this season. The upcoming fixture is not going to be an easy outing, despite being at home.

Al Ettifaq have performed decently in their last three games and will now be keen to continue their unbeaten run. They are coming in after securing a 3-2 win against Al Fayha in their previous match. Having won three of their first nine games, they are in ninth spot on the Saudi Pro League points table at the moment.
