German coach Matthias Jaissle has finalized his choices for the starting lineup in preparation for the match against Riyadh scheduled for this evening in the seventh round of the Saudi Pro League competition.

The match between Al-Ahli and Riyadh will kick off at 8:30 PM local time in Jeddah, at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium, in a match where the team aims to collect all the points and continue chasing the top positions.

Despite the technical and physical readiness of the team's stars Riyad Mahrez and Franck Kessie, Jaissle prefers to keep them on the bench with the possibility of bringing them in during the match to enhance the attacking strength.

Al-Ahli is expected to rely on goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, with a defensive line consisting of: Ali Majrashi, Roger Ibanez, Merih Demiral, and Matteo Damus, aiming to achieve defensive solidity at the beginning of the match.

In midfield, the trio of Abanga, Ziad Al-Jahani, and Saleh Abu Al-Shamat will appear to secure possession and create offensive opportunities while monitoring the key players of the visiting team.

In the front line, Jaissle bets on the distinguished trio of Matheus Cunha, Ivan Toney, and Feras Al-Breikan, hoping to exploit speed and skill to decide the match early.

Al-Ahli enters the match occupying the fifth position with 12 points, while Riyadh enters the match in the thirteenth position with 6 points, making the encounter important for both sides in the race to improve their standings.
