When Al-Raed plays host to Al-Khamis in the sixth stage of the Saudi Roshan League, while Al-Taei, Al-Khaleej, Al-Batin, and Damak clash in the same stage, the top young teams want to win six games in a row.
Al-Raed benefited from his last victory, while Al-Raed benefited from his last victory over Al-Adala in the last round to advance to seventh place with nine points. Al-Shabab leads the full mark with 15 points amassed from 5 straight wins, the last of which is a difficult victory over Al-Fayha away from home.
Al-Shabab has performed admirably thus far, scoring 14 goals in 5 rounds while only conceding once, against Al-Fayhaa in the final round, handing Al-Ittihad Jeddah the award for best defence in order to preserve the unbeatable status of Brazilian goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe.
On the other side, the young players will run across a familiar face on the bench of the pioneer, Romanian Marius Somodica, who trained the young players twice, once during the 2018–2019 season and again during the previous season after Brazilian Pericles Chamosca stepped down.
Last season, Al Shabab defeated Al-Raed 3-0, scoring two goals without an answer.
When Al-Batin travels to Hail to face Al-Taie, Al Khaleej hopes to build on its first victory in the tournament, which came in the last round at the expense of Al-Batin.
Al-Khaleej moved up to 12th place following its late victory over Al-Batin to have 4 points, while Al-Tai remained in eighth place with 9 points despite losing twice to Al-Shabab and included you in the last round.
Damak, who is sixth in the rankings with 10 points, won’t suffer in Hafr Al-Batin when he encounters the landowner, who is last with a score of zero points, hasn’t scored a goal, and has allowed 16 goals to enter his goal in 5 rounds.
Al-Batin and Damak drew a goalless draw in the first leg of their matchup during the previous campaign. Al-Batin then went on to win the second leg with two goals.
Strength of youth clashes with Somodica’s wisdom as his previous coach.
