On the 1st of September, Al Raed will host Al Wahda at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in a clash of these two evenly matched Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 38 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. 10th placed Al Raed is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Abha. Mohammed Salem struck first for Al Raed in the 34th minute, then Abdulfattah Mohamed Adam tied it up for Abha in the 51st minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 60th minute on a goal by Saad Bguir to cap off a wild match. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10, while al Wahda sits at 12th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-1 loss against Al Nassr. Vincent Aboubakar struck first for Al Nassr in the 3rd minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Al Wahda couldn’t muster any offence and Al Nassr ran away with the shutout win. Al Wahda looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Al Wahda’s top weapon lately has been Dimitri Petratos, who has two goals in the last five matches. Karim Berkaoui has been the most prolific scorer on Al Raed in his last five matches with two goals.
