Preview: Al Riyadh vs Al Ittihad Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

The previous outing between these clubs ended in favour of the Tigers.

Al Riyadh are now going to take on Al Ittihad in their matchweek 26 contest of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. The Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium is going to witness this entertaining clash between these clubs.

The hosts have faced back-to-back defeats in their last matches and are going to be under pressure for their next one. They faced a 0-3 at the hands of Damac Club in their last league game. It was a poor performance by them and being at home for their next game is not going to make things any easier for Al Riyadh.

The Tigers faced a dominating 1-3 defeat at the hands of Al Ahli in their last outing. It was an underwhelming performance by them and they will now be eager to return to winning ways. Their last few results against the hosts have been good enough and despite being away from home, Al Ittihad will be full of confidence.

Players to Watch

Mamadou Sylla (Al Riyadh)

Mamadou Sylla will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the Tigers this time around. In 21 Saudi Pro League appearances this season, the 31-year-old has scored six goals and has an assist to his name. Even though he has not been in top form in the last few games, Sylla is an important aspect of the squad in the final third.

Fabinho (Al Ittihad)

From controlling the midfield to helping his side in the final third, Fabinho is going to be one of the main men in the squad for Al Ittihad. He converted an important spot kick for his side in the previous league game, but it was not enough to avoid the defeat. The 32-year-old will be looking to put on a top performance to help his side.
