Riyadh (AFP) - Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah hope to temporarily take the top spot when they face Al-Khaleej and Al-Riyadh, respectively, on Thursday, as part of the twelfth round of the Saudi Professional League.
Al-Hilal (27 points), who will play Al-Fateh at the end of the round on Saturday, leads Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah (25 points), noting that the former have played only 10 matches, compared to 11 for the latter.
Al-Nassr are seeking a fifth consecutive victory across all competitions when they host Al-Khaleej at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.
The club announced that French winger Kingsley Coman is expected to return to the squad after participating in group training on Tuesday, but his participation remains at the discretion of Australian coach Ange Postecoglou.
Coman suffered a hamstring injury on October 12.
As for Al-Khaleej, after an ideal start in their first six matches, they have suffered four consecutive defeats, the latest being against Al-Ettifaq, and they hope to put an end to this string of negative results.
