“Yelo League 33″… 9 matches at the same time.

The 33rd round of the Yelo for First Division League (FDL) of Professional Clubs will kick off on Monday, with the matches set to kick off at 9:00 PM Mecca time.

With NEOM Club clinching the title and the first ticket to the Roshen League, the competition for the second spot is heating up, along with the play-off spots and the identity of the third team relegated to the Second Division after the relegation of Al-Safa and Ohod was confirmed.

The 33rd round will witness matches between Al-Hazem and Al-Jandal, Al-Zulfi and Al-Bukayriyah, Al-Jabalain and Al-Safa, Jeddah and Al-Arabi, Al-Adalah and Neom, Al-Najma and Ohud, Jubail and Al-Batin, Abha and Al-Tai, and Al-Faisaly and Al-Ain.

In the top match of the round, Al-Adalah hosts NEOM, clinging to a slim hope of snatching second place. They sit third with 55 points, four points behind runner-up Al-Najma, who will meet last-place Ohod in the same round in a match that would officially secure promotion to the Roshen Saudi Professional League.

Al-Hazem is seeking to improve its position before the play-offs, given its diminishing chances of snatching second place, as it is in fifth place with 54 points, four points behind seventh place. Meanwhile, Al-Jandal is looking for a positive result that will confirm its survival in the Yelo League, as it is in 14th place with 34 points, five points above the relegation zone.
