Al Riyadh – Al Wehda Preview: Team News, Form, and Potential Lineups
Read all about these two teams ahead of their upcoming duel here, including the most likely Al Riyadh vs Al Wehda lineups:
Al Riyadh
Thanks to the fact that Saudi Pro League got expanded from 16 to 18 teams, Al Riyadh managed to get into the top flight after finishing fourth last season in Division One. The team got a few interesting signings over the summer, including Knowledge Musona and Birama Toure. Meanwhile, Oscar Duarte is currently out with a shoulder injury.
Al Riyadh Predicted Lineup:
Campana – Adnan, Tosca, Asiri, Zaqan – Al Dosari, Toure, Musona – Al-Yami, Al-Abbas, Moath
Al Wehda
After nearly avoiding relegation last season when they finished three points ahead of the first team to be relegated, Al Wehda will try to avoid the strass of relegation battle this season. That being said, the team isn't looking that great on paper compared to some other Saudi Pro League sides, so we can see them struggling to survive this season.
Al Wehda Predicted Lineup:
Atiah – Ahmed, Bukhari, Makki, Kurdi – Akouz, Al-Hejji, Bakshween, Al-Ghamdi – Beauguel, Yoda

Al Wehda Mecca
Player to Watch: Knowledge Musona
While we expect this match to end without a winner, there are good players on both teams that could break the deadlock and one of them is the new Al Riyadh signing Knowledge Musona.
The experienced winger was at Al Taee last season and contributed eight goals and nine assists. So, the hopes for Musona are high at Al Riyadh this season.
