Al-Riyadh and Al-Ettifaq present a contrast in recent form. The home side, Al-Riyadh, has a mixed record in their last ten matches, with three wins, two draws, and five losses, reflecting fluctuating performances and low morale. Al-Ettifaq, on the other hand, boasts a more stable record with three wins, four draws, and three losses, suggesting a stronger psychological advantage. The significant difference in league standings further amplifies the contrast. Al-Riyadh, positioned in fourteenth place, faces the pressure of relegation, while Al-Ettifaq, in ninth, enjoys a more comfortable competitive environment. In terms of squad health, both teams have a clean bill of health, with no reported injuries or suspensions, ensuring their tactical plans are unhindered. Disciplinary factors are also not a concern, with a low risk of yellow cards. Overall, Al-Riyadh's recent five losses indicate a downward trend, while Al-Ettifaq's steady performance hints at upward potential, with the away side likely possessing greater confidence. Al-Riyadh has a 30% win rate in their recent ten matches, with a 40% chance of a draw. Their last five games, however, show cause for concern, with four losses and a draw, especially against strong opponents. They have faced teams like Al-Ahli Saudi (draw), Al-Fateh (loss), and Al-Raed (loss), revealing some instability, particularly in defence, where they've conceded multiple goals. Al-Ettifaq has an overall win rate of 30%, similar to Al-Riyadh, but with more draws—four in the last ten matches. A high percentage of their games (77.7%) have seen high-scoring results, demonstrating their strong attacking ability but less-than-solid defence.
