Al Riyadh vs Al Raed Prediction

The home team come into this one on the back of a more than respectable 1-1 draw with defending champions and title challenging Al Hilal in their most recent outing last weekend. Al Riyadh have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five matches as they now prepare to face an Al Raed side that suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Al Fayha last weekend to mean they have now suffered nine successive losses in the Pro League, slipping into the bottom three and the relegation places. Al Riyadh are firm favourites for this one, especially with their home advantage.
