Matthias Jaissle has yet to find the formular that made his team finish third last season.
The Royals have only been able to gather eleven points from a possible twenty four in the league.
This Thursday, they go head to head against city rivals Al Ittihad, a fixture they won both legs last term.
The German tactician who came under pressure earlier this season is banking on the support of their ever present fans to steer the team to victory.
“I’m confident and I trust that our fans will give us so much energy.” He said during his press conference ahead of the derby.
Jaissle outlined the team have a clear plan going into the game, and it is to win as they did last season.
“We have a clear match plan for the win, and we want to ensure that Jeddah stays green.

Last season, Jaissle oversaw a 1-0 victory in both legs of the fixture and will hope for a repeat performance come Thursday.
