Player Insights

• Róger Guedes (Al-Rayyan) — High volume shooting, low xG Despite recording 6.0 shots per 90 in his last 10, his L10 xG/90 has dropped to 0.00, indicating he is currently relying on low-probability attempts.
• Nedim Bajrami (Al-Taawoun) — Creator over scorer right now Bajrami's scoring threat has virtually vanished in recent weeks, but his increased key pass rate of 3.1 per 90 suggests he is purely focused on distribution.
• Marin Petkov (Al-Taawoun) — Creative spark emerging Petkov has significantly elevated his output compared to his seasonal baseline, becoming a much more dangerous playmaker recently.
