Al Riyadh and Orubah trade tackles in a Saudi Pro League round 30 clash on Thursday at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.
The hosts are coming off a 2-2 draw with Al Fateh at the same venue last week. Teze gave them the lead in the 20th minute, but Amine Sbai equalised in first-half injury time. Faiz Selemani restored Riyadh's lead four minutes into the second half, but Sofiane Bendebka's 53rd-minute strike ensured that the two sides cancelled each other out.
Orubah, meanwhile, also played out a 2-2 home draw in their previous outing, against Al Fayha. They were two goals down before the 20th minute, with Omar Al Somah breaking the deadlock from the spot in the 11th spot and Fahad Al Zubaidi doubling Fayha's lead seven minutes later. Khalid Kaabi, though, halved the deficit just past the hour-mark before Renzo Lopez scored a last-gasp equaliser in the sixth minute of injury time.

The draw left Orubah in 16th spot in the standings, with 27 points from 29 games, while Riyadh are ninth with 35 points.
