In the early morning of May 17, Beijing time, the 27th round of the 2022/23 Saudi Pro League season began, and Riyadh successfully visited Tay. Riyadh's two main players, Nawaf Azdi and Álvaro Gonzalez, will be sidelined due to injury, while recent controversial Brazilian star Taliska will continue to start.

In the last round of the league, Riyadh Victory hosted Saihat Bay, and with 22 shots on goal, the team drew 1-1 thanks to a goal from central defender Alvaro Gonzalez, and Riyadh Victory was opened by leaders Jeddah United by five points in the standings.

Riyadh Victory will have two main players unavailable in this campaign, namely goalkeeper Nawaf Azidi and foreign centre-back Alvaro Gonzalez. According to local media in Riyadh, Azidi's shoulder injury has not been relieved in the past week, and the latter is trapped in muscle strains. In these two positions, Jelicic will start Agustin Rossi and Amri respectively, and Riyadh's winning defensive strength will certainly decline to a certain extent.

In the last round of the league, Jelicic removed Ayman Yahya and switched to three midfielders. In terms of actual results, this has affected the investment in the attacking front, and this round against Tai, Jelicic will return to the 4-2-3-1 formation and activate Yahya again. As the biggest beneficiary of Jelicic's appointment, Ali Hassan will also continue to start.
It is worth mentioning that Taliska once had a quarrel with the high-level of Riyadh's victory because of distraction from the concert. According to the original plan of the Brazilian: after the release of the new single (May 23), he will leave the team for a concert, regardless of whether the team still has a game to play; After President Mussaly Muammar expressed clear opposition, Talisca eventually relented, scheduling all four concerts for the offseason (June 29 to July 2).
Talisca
Next, Riyadh Victory has four league games to play, and president Muamar has asked the whole team to make a desperate bet and give it their all.
