The Saudi Super Cup returns to the fold with a round of semi-final fixtures this week as Al Nassr lock horns with Al Ittihad at the King Fahd International Stadium on Thursday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr Preview
Al Ittihad are currently in third place in the Saudi Pro League standings and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. The hosts eased past Al Feiha by a comfortable 3-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form this season. The away side edged Al Ettifaq to a 1-0 victory over the weekend and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
