The yellow tigers enter this game on the back of a loss to Al-Ahli in the Jeddah derby just before the international break. Riyadh Mahrez scored the only goal of the game in the 55th minute and gave Al-Ahli the win. Sergio Conceicao remains in search of his first league victory since joining the Jeddah-based club last month.
The Yellow Tigers have now slipped to eighth place in the league after their loss against Al-Ahli, and Sergio has a lot of work to do if he intends to take Al-Ittihad to the promised land. They’ve collected 11 points from eight games played. In the AFC Champions League, Al-Ittihad have won two games from the four games played, with two losses, and they are currently 6th placed in the AFC Champions League table.
Al-Ittihad: Possible Lineup
Sergio Conceicao continues to search for his first-ever league victory as Al-Ittihad’s manager. He has managed the team in four league games, drawing two and suffering two losses. Fabinho was sent off in the 32nd minute of their game against Al-Khaleej, and he will not play this game against Al-Riyadh. What a great miss for Sergio Conceicao.
Player to watch out for: Karim Benzema
Former Real Madrid forward is the star of this team; his leadership continues to propel Al-Ittihad to greater heights in the AFC Champions League.
🔖 Al-Ittihad starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Pedrag RaJkovic – Danilo Pereira, Kadesh, Al-Mousa, Mario Mitaj – N’golo Kante, Awad Al-Nashri, – Roger Fernandes, Moussa Diaby, Aouar – Karim Benzema
👤 Head coach: Sergio Conceicao
Al-Riyadh: form and statistics
Form in all competitions: DDWLL
Al-Riyadh played Damac to a 1-1 draw in their last league game against Damac FC. Gonzalez scored first for Al-Riyadh in the 24th minute, but the win slipped away from their fingers in the 85th minute. Al-Riyadh has won just two games, with two draws and four losses from the 8 games they’ve played in the league this season.
Al-Riyadh: Possible Lineup
Javier Calleja is still moving away from the usual 4-4-2 formation with Haji and Mamadou Sylla leading the attack. Sylla leads the team in terms of goal, and he’ll be edging to put his name on the scoresheet again. Riyadh needs to do better, and Calleja needs to deploy a more energetic approach if he doesn’t want to land his team in tier 2 next season.
🔖 Al-Riyadh starting lineup (4-4-2)
Milan Borjan– Al-Khalibari, Barbet, Al-Boardi, Hazazi – Teddy Okou, Gonzalez, Toze, Sahlouli– Haji, Sylla
