this Saudi Professional League Riyadh host, returning with a new set of fixtures Al Nasr Monday at Prince Turki bin Abdulaziz Stadium. The two sides go into the game in very different situations, with Daniel Carreno’s side looking for a first win since October.

Riyadh shared the spoils for the third consecutive game as they drew 1-1 with Al-Najma at the Al-Najma Club Stadium in midweek.

Since the 1-0 victory over Al Holoud on October 23, Carreno’s team has gone 13 consecutive games without a win, losing 7 and drawing 6.

The poor results put Riyadh’s top-flight status in jeopardy, with 12 points from 18 games in 15th place in the Pro League standings, just one point above the relegation zone.

Al Nasr, on the other hand, maintained their resurgent form in their last match as they defeated Al Kholud 3-0 at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

Jorge Jesus’ side have now won four games in a row, scoring nine goals and keeping two clean sheets, after losing all three of their previous games.

Al Nasr has scored 43 points in 18 games in the professional league so far, ranking second, 3 points behind first place Al Hilal.
