The Saudi Pro League heats up as Al-Ittihad prepares to face Al-Riyadh at the Alinma Stadium in Jeddah. All eyes are on Al-Ittihad, the 'Yellow Tigers', as they desperately seek a return to winning ways after a disappointing run of form. Kick-off is slated for 18:15 on 21 November 2025.
Al-Ittihad's Struggle for Form
Al-Ittihad's recent performances have been concerning for their fans. They've failed to secure a league victory in their last five matches. New manager Sergio Conceicao is still searching for his first league win since taking charge last month. Their most recent setback was a defeat against Al-Ahli in the Jeddah derby, a match where Riyadh Mahrez's goal sealed the victory for their rivals.
Currently sitting eighth in the league standings with 11 points from eight games, Al-Ittihad faces a tough challenge. Conceicao has a significant task ahead of him to turn their fortunes around. Their performance in the AFC Champions League has been mixed, with two wins and two losses from four games.
Al-Riyadh: A Threatening Opponent
Al-Riyadh, trailing Al-Ittihad by just three points, presents a formidable challenge. Their recent league form has been relatively steady. The last encounter between these two teams resulted in a 2-1 victory for Al-Ittihad, suggesting another potentially high-scoring affair. This match is crucial for both teams as they aim to climb the Saudi Pro League table.
