Al-Nassr will host Al-Okhdood at Al-Awwal Park on Thursday in another round of the 2024-25 Saudi Professional League campaign. The home side have endured a disappointing start to the year and have fallen significantly behind in the race for the Saudi Pro League title as they sit fourth in the table with 25 points from 13 matches.
They were beaten 2-1 by league leaders Al-Ittihad in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a point after Cristiano Ronaldo canceled out Karim Benzema's opener before Ittihad reclaimed their lead in additional time.
Al-Okhdood have had their struggles this season but remain hopeful of once again beating the drop. They kicked off 2025 on a positive note as they beat fellow strugglers Al-Wehda 3-2 on the road featuring first-half goals from Christian Bassogog and Almeria loanee Ibrahima Kone.
The visitors sit 14th in the league standings with just 12 points from 13 matches. They are three points above the drop zone and will look to widen that gap when they head to the capital this week.
Al-Nassr vs Al-Okhdood Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Thursday's game will mark just the third meeting between Al-Nassr and Al-Okhdood. The home side have won each of their previous matchups by an aggregate scoreline of 6-2.
- The visitors are without a clean sheet in their last four matches and have managed just one in their last 10.
- Al-Nassr have scored 25 goals in the Saudi Arabian top flight this season. Only Al-Ittihad (32) and league leaders (34) have scored more.

Al-Nassr vs Al-Okhdood Prediction
Al-Nassr have been in action twice in 2025, losing both outings and will be desperate to snap that streak come Thursday. They have had mixed results on home turf of late but remain comfortable favorites for the midweek clash due to the difference in quality between themselves and their guests.
Al-Okhdood's latest result ended a three-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that this week. They have, however, won just two of their last six away matches and could lose here.
Prediction: Al-Nassr 3-1 Al-Okhdood
