Saudi Pro League, 12th round: Benzema-Neymar head-to-head, but Al Ittihad can escape

CR7’s Al Nassr and Kessié’s Al Ahli did not miss the chance to win yesterday. The 12th day of the Saudi Pro League continues today, with two matches under observation for the top of the rankings. In fact, in the last round Al Hilal surprised everyone, suffering their first defeat of the season and reopening the title race after overtaking Benzema’s Al Ittihad.

Both are expected on the pitch today, even if Neymar and his associates will have to deal with the fifth force in the championship, unlike their direct opponents for the title who shouldn’t have major problems with Al Ettifaq.
