It's back home for Raed, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Al Faisaly away with the result 1-0. R. Fernández found the net in that victory. Prior to that, an away loss at Al Hilal.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of B. Hasi when R. Fernández scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute.
A decent goal production from Raed in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 12 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.
