Al-Nassr will host Al-Ahli at Al-Awwal Park on Friday in another round of the 2024-25 Saudi Professional League campaign. The home side have had a mixed start to the new season and sit fifth in the table with four points from an obtainable six as they begin their quest for a first league title since the 2018-19 season.
They beat Al-Fayha 4-1 in their last match, with Anderson Talisca, Cristiano Ronaldo and former Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic all getting on the scoresheet before their opponents scored a late consolation goal.
Al-Ahli, meanwhile, kicked off their league campaign with a 2-0 victory over newly-promoted Al Orobah featuring goals from Abdulkarim Darisi and former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino. They were, however, beaten 1-0 by Al-Fateh on matchday two, conceding the sole goal of the game early after the restart in an overall underwhelming performance on the road.
