The Roshn Saudi Pro League returns on Monday, October 12, following a three-week international break. League leaders Al-Ittihad face a stern test as they host the season's surprise package, Al-Kholood, in the closing match of the round.
Al-Ittihad arrive in top form, having secured 13 points from their opening five games. However, they face an Al-Kholood side currently on a three-match winning streak, including a dominant 3-1 victory over Al-Ettifaq in their previous outing.
Meanwhile, Al-Hilal look to stabilize their campaign after dropping five points in their last three matches. Currently sitting fourth, the reigning champions face Al-Watan, while third-placed Al-Ahli host Al-Wehda, aiming to bounce back from a pair of recent draws.
Al-Nassr also return to action, hosting bottom-placed Al-Tadamon. After snapping a two-game losing streak with a victory over Damac, the Riyadh side will look to build momentum against a struggling opponent that has conceded 16 goals in four matches.
