Al Draih vs Al Riyadh prediction, odds and how to watch

Al Riyadh bossed possession and created more than NEOM SC in almost every department, but Teddy Okou's 61st-minute strike settled a scrappy Saudi Pro League contest in favour of the visitors. Sometimes the ball goes in and sometimes it doesn't. That's football.

Al Hilal arrive at Al Riyadh on Friday in the kind of form that makes you feel sorry for whoever is next on the fixture list. Al Riyadh are next on the fixture list.

Al-Fayha and Al Riyadh meet on Thursday with both clubs yet to register a single point from their opening two matches of the 2026 Saudi Pro League season. Something has to give, but the structural evidence suggests neither side is close to solving its problems.
