The hosts are just two points above the relegation zone

Al Riyadh are finding it hard to produce a win in the last few games. In the last three games in the Saudi Pro League, Odair Hellmann’s men have only managed to secure draws. They are currently two points above the relegation zone as they host their final home league fixture.

Al Nassr are currently second in the Saudi first tier. And they will finish in that spot no matter what the result in the final two league fixtures. The Knights of Najd last faced the league champions Al Hilal. That game ended 1-1.
