Karim Benzema and Co. stole a win against Al Nassr the last time both sides met

7 May 2025 - 3:55 pm

Al Nassr are all set to host Al Ittihad in the match week 30 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema will be against one another yet again and the contest will take place at the Al Awwal Park.

Despite being at home, Stefano Pioli’s Al Nassr will be under pressure. They were eliminated from the AFC Champions League Elite after their poor showing. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. fell to Al Ittihad previously this season. Al Nassr will not be looking to make the same mistakes this time.

The hosts will be looking to take advantage of their home ground and they still have a chance to win the Saudi Pro League title this season, but for that, Nassr will have to win all of their remaining league matches in the ongoing season.

Al Ittihad are at the top of the table and are motivated to lift their 10th Saudi League title and for that they will have to remain consistent in their next few matches. They are coming in after securing a close win in their last league contest, which was against Al Ettifaq. Karim Benzema and Co. will be looking to continue the winning run from here.

Injury and Team News
The home side will be without the services of Jhon Duran and Salem Al Najdi as they are suspended.

Al Ittihad might miss out on Predrag Rajkovic and Steven Bergwijn as their availability depends on their match fitness.
