The Saudi Professional League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Al Tai and Al Riyadh lock horns at the Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium on Friday.
Laurentiu Reghecampf’s men are currently on a five-match losing streak and will head into the weekend looking to stop the rot.
Al Tai were left empty handed once again as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Al-Shabab at the Al-Shabab Club Stadium last Saturday.
Reghecampf’s side have now lost five games on the bounce across all competitions, including a 2-0 defeat against Al-Faisaly in the King’s Cup back in September.
With seven points from 10 matches, Al Tai are currently 16th in the Saudi Professional League table, level on points with Abha and Al-Akhdood.
Al Riyadh moved into the top half of the league standings last Sunday when they scraped a 1-0 victory over Al-Ettifaq on home turf.
Odair Hellmann’s men have now gone three consecutive league matches without defeat, picking up seven points from a possible nine since a 3-1 loss against Al Fayha on September 22.
With 11 points from 10 matches, Al Riyadh are currently 11th in the Professional League table but could move level with eighth-placed Al Fayha with all three points this weekend.
Al Tai vs Al Riyadh Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- This will be the third meeting between Al Tai and Al Riyadh, with the Riyadh outfit winning their previous two encounters.
- Hellmann’s men are unbeaten in their last three matches, picking up two wins and one draw since September’s 2-1 loss against Al Fayha in the King’s Cup.

Hellmann’s side are in resurgent form and we see them picking up where they left off against Al-Ettifaq last weekend.
