Al-Khaleej
Pedro Emanuel's team had an average performance last season, finishing in the middle of the table, just five points clear of the relegation zone. However, they struggled towards the end, failing to win any of their last eight matches in the Saudi Super League.
In the opening match of the new season, Al-Khaleej secured a 1-0 away victory over Damak. However, their form dipped afterward, resulting in a 0-1 home defeat to Al-Shabab and a 0-2 loss away to Al-Taawoun.
Al-Fayha
The "Blue-Orange" team, unlike their opponents, has yet to collect any points this season. Two of their three losses have been by significant margins. In the first round, they lost narrowly 0-1 away to Al-Taawoun, conceding in the 90+5th minute, even though the hosts had been down to 10 men since the 81st minute.
In the second round, Al-Fayha faced Al-Nassr, where they stood little chance, losing 1-4. Last weekend, they hosted Al-Raed and suffered a crushing 0-5 defeat. By halftime, they were already down 0-3, and after going down to 10 men, their fate was sealed.
