Sat Nov 30 15:45:03 UTC 2024: ## Saudi Pro League Showdown: Al Riyadh to Host Struggling Al Ettifaq

**RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA** – A crucial Saudi Pro League clash is set to take place on Sunday, November 24th, at 8:10 PM IST (2:40 PM UK time), as Al Riyadh takes on Al Ettifaq at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium. Both teams, currently languishing in the lower half of the table, are desperate for a win to revitalize their seasons.

Al Riyadh, currently ninth with 14 points from 10 games, will rely on home advantage to propel them to victory. Their recent form, however, shows inconsistency (L-D-L-L-W), highlighting the need for a strong performance. Key player Toze, a fan favorite known for his attacking and defensive contributions, will be crucial to their chances. Al Riyadh’s strength will also depend on the performance of Dembele, whose physicality and dribbling skills can destabilize Al Ettifaq’s defense. While Enzo Roco is doubtful, the rest of the squad is fit.

Al Ettifaq, in 12th place with just 11 points, arrives on a three-game losing streak (L-L-L-D-L), putting immense pressure on players and coaching staff. Despite boasting a talented squad including Wijnaldum and Ekambi, their inconsistent form is a major concern. The team will be without Abdullah Al-Khateeb and Abdulelah Al-Malki due to injury.

Although both teams are considered evenly matched in terms of quality, Al Riyadh’s home advantage and need for points makes them slight favorites. The predicted score is a 2-1 victory for the home side.

Fans can catch the match live on Sony Liv and Sony Sports Network (India) and StarTimes App and Sporty TV (Nigeria). For further updates, follow Khel Now on various social media platforms and their app.
