Al-Kawkab high, Najran SC low in the standings
The table could hardly offer a starker contrast, with Al-Kawkab near the summit and Najran SC close to the foot.
Najran SC are 14 of 16, inside the bottom three. Still waiting for a shut-out after 5 matches, the visitors have plenty to tighten up at the back. Jubbah and the visitors finished all square at 1-1 last time out, in a low-scoring game.
Third in the table on 10 points, Al-Kawkab are among the league's leading sides. Scoring has rarely been a problem for the hosts of late, their last five matches yielding 11 goals. Repeatedly breached over their last 5 matches, the hosts are in need of greater solidity.
Victory has eluded both clubs in 4 of their last 5 meetings.
