Despite being a newly-promoted team, Al Riyadh started the new season in Saudi Pro League with four points from the first two games, so their fans have a lot of reasons to feel optimistic about the team's chances of staying up come the end. Meanwhile, their next game will be the biggest test yet as they host the defending champions Al Ittihad.

Campana – Asiri, Arslanagic, Tosca – Al-Nowaiqi, Ndong, Toure, Al Khaibari – Al-Zaqaan, Al Abbas, Musona
Al Ittihad
The reigning Saudi Arabia champions started the new season with a couple of convincing wins, so they are currently sitting on the top of the standings with six points and a +5 goals difference. On top of that, the team has yet to concede a goal led by the amazing pair of defensive midfielders Kante and Fabinho while they still await the first league goal from Karim Benzema.
Al Ittihad predicted lineup:
Grohe – Bamasud, Sharahili, Alshanqeeti, Al-Olayan – Fabinho, Kante – Hamdallah, Romarinho, Coronado – Benzema

Al Ittihad Jeddah
Player to watch: Karim Benzema
After two rounds of the new Saudi Pro League, we are still waiting for Karim Benzema to score his first league goal for Al Ittihad and we can see that happening in this duel.
The French striker and reigning Ballon d'Or winner is simply too good and we certainly won't be waiting too long for his first goal, so Al Riyadh need to keep a close eye on him in this match.
