Al Riyadh will face Al-Nassr at the Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium on Friday in another round of the 2024-25 Saudi Pro League campaign. The home side have had a largely positive start to their season and now sit sixth in the table with 14 points as they continue their push for a top-half league finish.
They played out a 2-2 draw against Damac in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points on the road following a second-half strike from Faiz Selemani before their opponents leveled the scores from the spot in additional time.
Meanwhile, Al-Nassr have endured a disappointing run of results in their domestic assignments of late, most recently playing out a 1-1 draw against rivals Al-Hilal in the Riyadh Derby last weekend. However, they returned to winning ways on the continental stage as they thrashed defending champions Al-Ain 5-1 in the AFC Champions League Elite on Tuesday.
