The Saudi Pro League returns from the international break with a triple header of action on Friday with the trio of matches beginning with a clash between Al Feiha and an underperforming Al Ahli side.

Al Feiha begin the round of matches in the bottom three of the table with their 1-4-5 record not really where they were looking to be this term. They have the unwanted distinction of being the lowest-scorers in the Saudi Pro League while only two sides have conceded more than them.

There is certainly a school of thought that would suggest that Al Ahli should be doing much better than the eighth place and 4-2-4 record they have so far this term.

This is a side with the offensive output of Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Ivan Toney to call upon so they should be doing much better than they are. Al Ahli have struggled away from home this term with 1-1-3 their record on their travels, with just four goals scored in those games.

This does look like a good chance for Al Ahli to pick up a road win though. Al Feiha have lost 4-1 at home to Al Nassr and 5-0 at home to Al Raed already as well as 3-0 at Al Hilal.

The home side look outclassed by the better teams in the league so should open up the Friday treble with an away win.

The second of the matches to kick off on Friday afternoon sees an Al Okhdood side who are languishing too close to the bottom three for comfort hosting Al Shabab who have started the season really well.

The visitors have a 7-0-3 record under Vitor Pereira and that extends to 4-0-1 on their travels with seven goals scored and just the one conceded so they are a team who are very comfortable in their approach on the road.

Al Okhdood are struggling for consistency as their 2-2-6 record would suggest. When they are good, such as in their win over Al Orubah two matches ago which they won 4-0, they are very good but they have failed to score in half of their games this term.

Al Shabab don’t give a lot away. They have conceded just six goals in their 10 matches, keeping five clean sheets in that time and if there is a winner the form would suggest it will be them.

The pick of the Friday matches is the last one to kick off when two teams in the top five of the table meet as Al Nassr host Al Qadisiya in a match which could tell us plenty about both sides.

Al Nassr are yet to lose this season and will be assisted by Cristiano Ronaldo having not been selected for the second match of the international break for Portugal, meaning that he should be nice and fresh for this encounter.

Al Qadisiya are having an excellent first season back in the top-flight with the attacking talent of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Julian Quinones, scoring eight goals between them.

This will be a big test for the away side but they have won their last three and look to be gaining in confidence.

Al Nassr are only 2-3-0 at home though so there is certainly a case to be made that they are short enough for this one at 1.40.

With both front lines full of quality and starting to fire, finishing off the Friday treble with both teams to score looks good.
