Al-Hilal will host Al-Nassr at the Kingdom Arena on Friday in the 26th round of the 2024-25 Saudi Pro League campaign. The hosts will be keen to get a result that could put them just a point behind the league leaders.
Al-Za'eem appear to have returned to form, picking up back-to-back 2-0 wins in the league, most recently against Al-Taawoun after winning only one of their previous five outings in the competition. The hosts are sat in second place, four points behind Al-Ittihad and will be keen to get a result this weekend to keep them in the title race.
Al-Nassr picked up an impressive 3-1 win over Al-Kholood last time out despite going a man down early in the second half to mark their second win in their last five league outings. The visitors, who are six points behind Friday's hosts, are tied on points with fourth placed Al-Qadsiah and will be looking to be at their best in the final nine games of the season to ensure Champions League Elite qualification.
