Al-Riyadh will host the in-form Damac at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium on Thursday for a Saudi Pro League clash, with kickoff slated for 15:00 GMT.

Key Highlights

Al-Riyadh is winless in its last four matches, losing three and drawing the other. The draw came in the home clash against bottom-of-the-table Al-Hazm, ending in a 0-0 stalemate.

The three consecutive losses came away to Al-Nassr (4-1), at home to Al-Khaleej (0-1) and away to Al-Wehda (3-1). They have scored two goals and conceded eight times in the run of four matches.

Al-Riyadh’s lack of goals is a concern ahead of hosting the in-form Damac on Thursday. The manager will look to re-tool the team’s shape and give them more cutting edge in the final third.
