The club from Riyadh, featuring Ronaldo, still can’t secure a trophy—the team finished only third last season. However, this time they started with a perfect winning record, defeating all opponents in succession. There was just one exception: they lost to Al-Ittihad in the cup, exiting the tournament immediately. Only in recent rounds did their league form dip: just a draw with Al-Ettifaq and a defeat by Al-Ahli.
The team from Al Khobar, having been promoted to the country’s top division in 2024, immediately finished fourth. This season is going less well, though they still win almost half their matches and rarely lose. They beat both their most recent rivals, Al-Shabab and Al-Riyadh.
The league leaders average 3.08 goals scored and concede 0.83 per game. Brendan Rodgers’ side, scoring two goals per match on average, concede about one in return.
Al-Nassr have not won their last two matches
58% of Al-Nassr’s matches end with goals from both teams, with an average total of 3.92 goals per match.
Al-Qadsiah have won their last two matches
58% of Al-Qadsiah’s games end with goals from both teams and an average total of 3.0 goals per match.
Al-Nassr (probable lineup): Al-Aqidi – Bushal, Martinez, Al-Amri, Al-Ghannam – Coman, Brozović, Angelo Gabriel, Wesley – Ronaldo, João Félix.
Al-Qadsiah (probable lineup): Casteels – Al-Shahrani, G. Alvarez, Nacho, Al-Shamat – Baa, Al-Juwaer, Weigl, Nandez – Retegui, Quiñones.
