Al-Nassr host Al-Khaleej at the Al-Awwal Park on Wednesday (May 1) in the semifinals of the King's Cup.
The hosts are enjoying a strong run of form in the league and will look to carry that momentum into the domestic cup. They beat Al-Shabab 5-2 last time out in the competition, with five different players getting on the scoresheet, including star forwards Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Al-Nassr are six-time winners of the domestic cup and have finished runner-ups on eight occasions. Their last cup triumph, though, came in 1990.
Al-Khaleej, meanwhile, have hit a rough patch recently. They picked up a 2-1 victory over Abha in the quarterfinals of the competition in December. Fabio Martins opened the scoring in the first half before Khaled Narey scored the winner seven minutes from time.
The visitors are enjoying one of their best King's Cup campaigns as they seek their first title.
