Al Raed preview: Still not fully safe from relegation
With three wins, one draw, and a couple of losses in the last six games in the league, Al Raed have been in solid form lately. However, they are still in danger of relegation since they currently sit five points clear of the relegation zone. With six games left in the season, they will need to get a few more points to avoid any stress at the very end.

Al Ettifaq preview: Not much left to play for
Right now, Al Ettifaq are sixth in the league standings, ten points behind Al Ittihad in fifth and 12 behind Al Ahli in third, which is the final place that leads to AFC Champions League. So, realistically, Al Ettifaq don't really have a chance of getting that high. Still, they have been playing well recently and have only lost one of their last seven games in the Saudi Pro League.
Predicted Lineup: Victor – Al Shamrani, Hazzazi, Hendry, Al Otaibi – Wijnaldum, Medran, Fofana – Gray, Dembele, Toko Ekambi

Player to watch: Moussa Dembele
The experienced forward has been one of the key offensive weapons of this Al Ettifaq squad and he is their top scorer with nine goals in the league this season.
Can Dembele score multiple goals?
While Dembele's goalscoring record is good, he is far from the top scorers in the Saudi Pro League. Still, we saw Dembele score multiple goals on two occasions this season, so he is the best choice to do so in this game.
