Danh sách ĐT Saudi Arabia dự World Cup 2022: Nhiều người quen từng đấu ĐT Việt Nam

Renard mostly sticks to a 4-2-3-1 formation but is flexible enough to adopt a more attacking 4-3-3 if required.

Mohammed Al-Owais is likely to start between the sticks. He will be shielded by a back four of Al-Bulaihi and Al-Amri at the heart of defence. Al-Ghanam might get the nod at right-back while Al-Shahrani will occupy the left-back position.

Al-Faraj and Otayf should slot in as the two defensive midfielders. Al-Dawsari and Al-Muwallad could occupy their positions on the left and right flank respectively, with Bahebri as the attacking midfielder.

Al-Buraikan might have the responsibility to lead the attack.

Saudi Arabia XI (4-2-3-1): Al-Owais; Al-Ghanam, Al-Bulaihi, Al-Amri, Al-Shahrani; Al-Faraj, Otayf; Al-Muwallad, Bahebri, Al-Dawsari; Buraikan.
