But their last five outings have been shakier: a 0-5 away defeat to Al Kholood, a draw away to Pakhtakor in the Champions League Elite, a win over Abha, then back-to-back losses to Al Taawon and Al-Hilal. Al Riyadh, meanwhile, have won six, drawn six and lost eight in their last 20, with 24 scored against 38 conceded, a pattern of inconsistency rather than a clear slump or upturn.

Al-Qadisiyah's underlying form has cooled a little just as they sit top of the table.

Comparative Team Statistics: Al Riyadh vs Al-Qadisiyah FC

Recent meetings have been lopsided

The two sides have met six times across recent seasons, and the picture has shifted. The most recent two meetings went firmly Al-Qadisiyah's way: a 4-0 win at home in January and a 4-0 away win in April, both one-sided.

Earlier meetings were tighter, including a 1-1 draw and a couple of single-goal results, so the recent trend of heavy Al-Qadisiyah wins is a more recent development rather than a long-standing pattern.

The last two head-to-heads have been comfortable for Al-Qadisiyah, though history before that was far closer.

A big gap in the table

Al-Qadisiyah currently sit first with 22 points from nine games, built on seven wins and only one defeat. Al Riyadh are down in 12th, with nine points from eight matches after two wins, three draws and three losses.

The goal difference tells the same story: Al-Qadisiyah have scored 23 and conceded just nine, while Al Riyadh have managed only nine goals for and let in 17.

The league table clearly favours Al-Qadisiyah, but it doesn't guarantee a smooth afternoon.

Where the goals and cards come from

Al-Qadisiyah's scoring is shared around, with Retegui on four goals from seven matches, and Abu Al Shamat and Quiñones both among the goals and assists too. Al Riyadh's main attacking reference point in this sample is Okou, with three goals from seven matches.
