This table looks back. Today's Saudi Pro League line and the player's hit rate against it are in PickFinder, next to these defense numbers.
How this is counted
Counts every forward, midfielder and defender row in 104 Saudi Pro League matches in the 2026-27 season, Aug 13, 2026 to Oct 31, 2026, grouped by the team they played against. Per 90 is the group's total divided by its minutes, times 90, so it's a rate per player and a substitute's 20 minutes counts as 20 minutes. "vs own" compares the total with what those same players do at their own per 90 rate in their other Saudi Pro League matches, using the league's position average for anyone with under 180 other minutes. Positions come from OpticOdds; goalkeepers are left out. Teams need 3 or more matches. Cup games are excluded. Only matches with full Opta coverage in OpticOdds are counted, so a match with missing stats never reads as zeros.
