Al Riyadh preview: A tough road ahead to avoid relegation
With six games left in the season, Al Riyadh are in for a tough and stressful battle against relegation. At the moment, they are outside of the relegation zone, but only based on goal difference since they're tied with Abha and sit just one point ahead of Al Akhdoud. On top of that, Al Riyadh's recent form has been shaky, with four losses in the last six games.
Meanwhile, Abdullah al-Khaibari will miss this match to serve a suspension.

On the bright side, Al Ahli are third in the standings, two points ahead of Al Ittihad with a game in hand, as these two teams battle for the final spot in the AFC Champions League next season.
When it comes to team news, Haitham Asiri, Abdullah Otayf, Ziyad Aljohani, Ali Majrashi, Abdulrahman Al-Sanbi, and Gabriel Veiga are out with injuries, while Abdulbasit Hindi is suspended.
Predicted Lineup: Mendy – Majrashi, Demiral, Al-Hamad, Al Ammar – Ibanez – Al-Nabit, Kessie – Mahrez, Firmino, Saint-Maximin

Player to watch: Riyad Mahrez
With nine goals and 11 assists in the Saudi Pro League this season, the experienced winger has been one of the key offensive weapons for Al Ahli as they fight for their spot in the AFC Champions League.
Can Mahrez score first?
Of his nine goals in the league so far, only two have been the first goals in those respective matches. So, Mahrez might not be the best candidate for the first goalscorer, but the odds are good and it might still be worth taking a punt on him.
