Third-placed Al-Ahli Saudi will travel to Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium to go one-on-one against the hosts Al-Feiha, with kickoff slated for 18:00 GMT on Thursday.
Key Highlights
Al-Feiha have lost their last two outings in the Saudi Pro League as their form has suffered a dip. They were beaten 2-4 at home to Damac before losing 4-1 away to Al-Taawoun last time out.
Conceding eight times while scoring three goals in these two matches underscores a downturn in form for Al-Feiha, one they need to arrest before facing Al-Ahli on Thursday.
Al-Feiha have won just once in their last five outings, drawing twice and losing twice. They have won just four times all season, drawing seven matches and losing five. They have scored 19 times and conceded 22 goals in the process.
Al-Ahli Saudi’s title charge has cooled in recent matches as the gap to leaders Al-Hilal has ballooned to 13 points after 16 rounds of fixtures in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Ahli are unbeaten in their last five matches; they have won twice and drawn three times. The six points dropped have added to the massive gap at this stage to the leaders. They will look to bounce back to winning ways when they travel to Al-Feiha on Thursday.
