Match Preview
Al Khaleej hosts Al Riyadh at the Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz Sports City Stadium in a crucial Pro League clash on Sunday, 19 October. Both teams are struggling for form, with Al Khaleej recording just one win in their last five matches, while Al Riyadh has managed only one victory in the same period. This matchup presents an opportunity for both sides to break out of their respective slumps, particularly for Al Khaleej, who will be keen to leverage home advantage.
Historically, the head-to-head record favours Al Riyadh, who have won three of the last ten encounters, but recent performances suggest that both teams are evenly matched. A notable trend is the frequency of matches featuring over 2.5 goals, which has occurred in three of their last ten meetings. Given the current form and the stakes involved, this match could see both sides pushing for a much-needed win, making it a potentially high-scoring affair. Fans can expect a tense encounter as both teams aim to regain their footing in the league.
