Al Nassr vs Al Riyadh sees the league leaders host a side struggling for rhythm at Al-Awwal Park.
Jorge Jesus’ men come in with a strong run of form, scoring freely and brushing aside opponents like Al Ittihad, Taawoun, and Istiklol. Even without their star forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr’s depth has been on full display, with goals spread across the squad as they continue to look like title favorites.
For Al Riyadh, inconsistency defines their season so far. A narrow win over Al Najma offered some relief, but the four consecutive defeats before that, including the ones against Al Hilal, Al Shabab, and Al Ahli, underline their defensive vulnerabilities. They’ve yet to beat Al Nassr in recent head-to-head meetings, with three losses and a draw in the last four clashes.
