Al Khaleej Saihat vs Al Taee lineups and latest team news
Al Khaleej Saihat
Al Khaleej Saihat aren't one of the four PIF-backed clubs in the Saudi Pro League so weren't expected to be one of the frontrunners this season. Under the guidance of Pedro Emanuel, Al Khaleej Saihat had a decent start to the season but have since dipped in form and they look set to be embroiled in a relegation battle.
Last time out, Al Nassr overcame them in a 2-0 victory courtesy of goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Aymeric Laporte but they won't face such superstars on Thursday. Emanuel will be banking on the likes of Martins and Sherif to get amongst the goals against Al Taee.
Predicted lineup
Al Haidari – Narey, Al Hamsal, Al Khabrani, Lopez, Robocho – Hamzi, Jung, Rodrigues, Martins, Sherif
Al Taee
Al Taee also aren't one of the clubs packed by PIF, however, they have fared slightly better than tomorrow night's opponents thus far. They have three wins to their name but they have all come on home turf and their away form has been disappointing, to say the least.
Manager, Laurențiu Reghecampf, will look to set up defensively here given their frailties on the road and will be hoping for a big performance from goalkeeper, Moataz Al Baqaawi.
