This Will be Their 13th Head to Head Match
Al Riyadh have been more successful in head to head matches, winning five out of 12 encounters, while Al Khaleej secured just two victories.
Hosts Winless This Season
Al Khaleej started the new Pro League season with new head manager, Portuguese expert Jose Gomes being appointed in late May but the results have been underwhelming so far.
They registered three straight stalemates in the second half of August against Al Taawon 0-0, Al Shabab 0-0 and Abha 1-1 before losing against the main title contenders Al Hilal 5-1.
During the mid-week action, Al Khaleej suffered another heavy 3-0 defeat at Neom SC, conceding all three goals in the first half while having zero shots on target.
Al Riyadh Coming off a Heavy Loss
Al Riyadh are also playing under expectations in the new campaign, accumulating just four points from five matches and currently sit mid-table.
They had huge problems with defending in the opening two clashes, losing to Al Ettifaq 4-2 and Al Nassr 4-0, while defensive issues continued against Al Shabab in the third round, but at least grabbed a point here in a 3-3 draw.
The first clean sheet was registered last weekend in a 1-0 home win over Neom SC, Teddy Okou scoring the winning goal in the 61st minute, but they couldn't do much on Friday against favored Al Ahli, losing 5-0.
Team News
Left-back Pedro Rebocho is ruled out for the home side due to an injury, while veteran striker Joshua King is doubtful.
The only injury concern for the visitors is striker Luca Ramirez, struggling with fitness. Teddy Okou has been their top contributor this season with three assists.
Verdict
Both teams will view this match as a good opportunity to collect three points and step away from the relegation zone. All of their h2h clashes in the last two seasons offered goals, so BTTS is the best pick here.
