Al-Riyadh are currently in a slump, winless in their last four matches (2 draws, 2 losses). They desperately need a morale boost, and this home match is a crucial opportunity to turn things around. Al-Ettifaq, on the other hand, are showing signs of improvement, remaining undefeated in their last three games with 1 win and 2 draws. Their 3-2 victory over Al-Fayha in the previous round ended a previous poor run, suggesting that their attacking and defensive systems are gradually coming together. Both teams have significant defensive vulnerabilities. The outcome of this match will largely depend on which side can better capitalise on their attacking opportunities while minimising critical defensive errors. Al-Riyadh's performance this season has been a struggle. A severe imbalance between attack and defence is the core reason behind the team's relegation worries. In terms of attack, the team has only scored 10 goals in 9 league games, placing them in the middle of the league in terms of attacking efficiency. Their defence has been full of holes. Al-Ettifaq's overall performance this season has been average. Their attack has demonstrated strong firepower, scoring 13 goals in 9 league games, including 10 goals in the last 6 matches, with goals in 5 of those games, the attack line is stable and efficient. The team possesses top-tier foreign midfielder such as Wijnaldum, whose ability to advance, distribute the ball, and score from late runs is remarkable and effectively streamlines the team's attacking rhythm.
