Al-Wehda
The "Knights of Mecca" fought to retain their place in the Saudi Pro League last season and successfully achieved that goal. Al-Wehda finished 13th in the standings, earning 36 points from 34 matches, just four points clear of the relegation zone. However, their form at the end of the season was poor, with only one win and three losses in their last five games.
In preparation for the new season, coach Georgios Donis’s team played three friendly matches, but they failed to win any of them. They drew 0-0 with Qatar SC, 0-0 with La Unión, and 1-1 with Granada. Al-Wehda also began the new Saudi Pro League season with a draw, sharing the points in a 3-3 home match against Al-Riyadh.
Al-Orobah
The team from Al-Jouf fought for promotion to the top division last season and achieved this with distinction. They accumulated 64 points from 34 matches, finishing nine points behind leaders Al-Qadisiyah. Nonetheless, it was enough to secure a confident promotion to the Saudi Pro League.
Unlike their opponents, Al-Orobah opted not to play many friendlies during the off-season. Coach Valeriu Tița’s team only played one friendly match against Esteghlal Tehran, which they lost 2-3. Their start in the Premier League was also disappointing, as they predictably lost 0-2 in an away match against Al-Ahli.
