Al Fayha and Al Raed will lock horns in round five of the Saudi Pro League at the King Salman Sport City Stadium on Friday. Al Raed will head into the weekend fresh off the back of picking up their first win of the season. Meanwhile, Al Fayha were condemned to their first defeat of the new Professional League campaign. They were beaten 2-1 by Abha on Monday. Al Fayha were made to suffer due to their lack of cutting edge in front of goal.
Prior to that, Al Fayha kicked off the season with a convincing 3-1 victory over Al-Khaleej. However, Vuk Rasovic’s men failed to build on their opening-day victory. Subsequently, they played out successive draws against Al-Hilal and Al-Hazem in their two subsequent outings. Al-Fayha now returns for a home fixture. At home, Al Fayha’s record is fantastic. They are unbeaten in four of their last five matches.
Al Raed, on the other hand, turned in a performance of the highest quality last Monday when they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Al Riyadh. This was a much-needed victory for Igor Jovicevic’s men. Al-Raed had lost each of their previous five outings. This includes successive defeats against Al-Ittihad, Abba and Al-Hilal in their first three games. Let us see who has the bragging rights at the King Salman Sport City Stadium.
