RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (Interstat) — Al Riyadh hosts Al Okhdood SC on Thursday in a Saudi Pro League match at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, with both teams seeking to reverse recent struggles.

Al Riyadh (9-12-10) enters the 8 p.m. local time kickoff after a 4-0 defeat at Al Qadisiyah on April 29, its second loss in three games. The club also lost 1-0 at Al Taraji on April 26 but rebounded with a 2-1 home win over the same opponent that same day. Al Riyadh has posted mixed results this season, with highlights including a 3-1 victory over Al Ittihad on March 13 and a 2-0 win at Al Kholood on Feb. 19, but has been held scoreless in five of its last 11 matches.

Al Okhdood SC (5-16-10) is in a deeper slump, having lost nine of its last 10 contests. The club was blanked 4-0 by Al Ahli on May 3, following a 3-1 home loss to Al Ettifaq on April 30 and a 2-0 defeat at Damac on April 23. Its only win in that stretch came April 5, a 1-0 result at Al Fateh. Al Okhdood has managed just five goals in its last 10 league games while conceding 19.

The teams last met Jan. 21, playing to a 2-2 draw in Najran. That result extended a pattern of close contests; Al Riyadh won the previous meeting 3-2 on Sept. 27, 2025, while Al Okhdood took the prior matchup 2-1 on May 16, 2025.

Al Riyadh’s attack is led by forward Abdulaziz Al-Ariyani, who has eight goals this season. Al Okhdood relies on striker Saleh Al-Abbas, who has six.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Al Riyadh is projected to win 2-0.

Thursday’s match is the 31st round of the Pro League season. Al Riyadh sits ninth in the table with 37 points, while Al Okhdood is 14th with 25 points, six above the relegation zone.
