Al Riyadh open their home campaign against NEOM SC, with the hosts yet to win in 3 matches this season (1 draw, 2 losses). Interestingly, their defense seems to falter only at certain times, as 24% of the goals they've conceded occurred in the 76-90 minute period, which is also the same period when they've scored the most (28% of all goals). Al Riyadh's last 5 matches include wins 2-0, losses 0-4, and a draw 3-3, showing they can score but also concede plenty. Meanwhile, NEOM SC have won 4 of their last 5 matches, but their most recent away game ended in a 0-2 loss, and in the last 6 head-to-head meetings, 3 have ended in draws or with a margin of no more than 1 goal. This match is likely to be closely contested and end with a narrow scoreline.
