Summits and Confrontations Await. Sunday, the Fifth Round of the Yellow League Begins.

The fifth round of the Yellow League of the First Division (FDL) of Professional Clubs begins on Sunday, witnessing confrontations, the most notable of which is the one between Abha and Al-Faisaly, while the leaders, NEOM, are guests of Al-Najma.

Three matches will be held on Sunday, with Al-Taie hosting its guest, Ohod, while Al-Ain will meet Al-Bukayriyah, and Al-Arabi will be a guest against Al-Jubail.

Al-Tai enters the match feeling ecstatic about his qualification to the quarter-finals of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup, which pits him against his host, Al-Hilal, next month. Al-Tai seeks to benefit from the morale boost he received by qualifying for the round of 16 in the most expensive cups to regain victories and rise in the rankings, as he is ranked 14th with a score. 4 points, with a goal difference over one of the 11th-place players, who is looking to stop the bleeding of points after losing in the last two rounds.

Al Ain, which is in eighth place with 5 points, will welcome its guest, Al Bukayriyah, which is in second place with one point and is still searching for its first victories in the new season.

Al-Arabi, which is ecstatic about qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup, will be a guest of Al-Jubail, where it seeks to continue its positive results and move a step closer to the leading positions, as it finishes ninth with 5 points, 4 of which it won in the last two rounds.

On the other hand, Al-Jubail, which is in last place with a single point, is seeking to achieve its first win this season, as it and Al-Bukayriyah are the only two teams that have not recorded any victory so far.

The round’s competitions continue on Sunday, as Jeddah meets Al-Safa, Al-Jabalain meets Al-Zulfi, and Al-Hazm meets Al-Adalah.

Jeddah seeks to continue its strong start, which pushed it to share the lead with NEOM and Al-Hazm with 10 points each, while Al-Safa’s task will be difficult in regaining its balance, as it lost in its last three matches versus a win in the first round, dropping to 15th place with 3 points.

Al-Jabalin enters its match with Al-Zulfi in high spirits after qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup. The team also regained its balance in the league after losing in the first two rounds, achieving 4 points in the last two rounds to rise to 13th place.

On the other hand, Al-Zulfi is looking for a positive result to advance a step in the rankings, as he comes in tenth with 5 points.

Al-Hazm will receive its guest Al-Adala in one of the summits of the fifth round, as Al-Hazm is in third place with 10 points, on goal difference from the leader NEOM, while Al-Adala is in sixth place with 7 points, and both teams will seek to continue their progress and remain in the professional region.

The fifth round competitions conclude on Tuesday, as Abha receives its guest, Al-Faisaly, at the top of the round’s matches, while Al-Najma receives its guest, NEOM, while Al-Jandal receives its guest, Al-Batin.

Abha and Al-Faisaly have 9 points each in fifth and fourth place, respectively, with Al-Faisaly superior by goal difference, which increases the excitement of this match, which may push the winner to the lead if the top three, NEOM, Jeddah and Al-Hazm, falter.

NEOM, the leader, will be the guest of Al-Najma, who will enter the match ecstatic about his historic achievement after booking a seat in the 16th final of “The Most Valuable Cups.”

NEOM is seeking to regain its victories after stumbling in the last round against Al Ain, while Al-Najma hopes to continue its awakening and achieve a victory that places it among the professionals, as it ranks seventh with 6 points.

Al-Jandal – the talk of the Saudi fans in recent days – will meet its guest, Al-Batin, as Al-Jandal enters the match after its historic victory over Al-Ahly and qualifying for the eighth-final of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup.

After 3 defeats in the first 3 rounds, Al-Jandal achieved victory in the last round against Uhud, and seeks to continue its victories in order to stay away from the danger zone, while Al-Batin seeks to regain its balance after losing in the last round against Jeddah and falling to 12th place with 4 points.
