Al-Ahli team faces a tough test when they meet their counterpart Al-Fayha, as part of the 29th round of the Saudi Roshn League, in a match that holds great importance for both sides.

The German coach Matthias Jaissle was forced to make crucial decisions regarding the defensive line after key influential players were absent from the team lineup ahead of the anticipated match tonight.

The coaching staff chose to rely on the duo of Mohamed Suleiman Bakr and Rayan Hamed to lead the central defense, in an attempt to compensate for the absences that have affected the team's backline.

Al Ahly will be missing the services of Brazilian Roger Ibañez and Turkish Merih Demiral, in addition to Zakaria Hawsawi and Valentin Atangana, which presents the team with a clear defensive challenge.

The match will kick off on Wednesday evening at 6:55 PM Saudi time and 7:55 PM UAE time, amid anticipation from fans to see how well Al-Ahli can overcome the circumstances.

Al-Ahly enters the match in third place with 65 points, while Al-Fayha occupies the ninth position with 33 points, which gives the encounter a competitive nature despite the difference in ranking.
