Al-Nasr
- Al-Nasr sit sixth in the UAE Pro League with 26 points from 19 matches, and a current unbeaten run of five (W1, D4) has lifted them to sixth place in the UAE Pro League 2025-2026 table.
- Al-Nasr have won two, drawn four and lost three of their nine home league fixtures this season.
Al Bataeh
- Al Bataeh currently sit 13th in the table with just 16 points from 19 games and have struggled to find any consistency this season.
- Farhad Majidi is an attack-minded, pragmatic coach who is not afraid to rotate his squad, and they have sprung a couple of surprise results through direct, vertical transitions and set pieces.
Head-to-Head
The main selection won in the last two head-to-head meetings between the sides, most recently in this fixture two months ago ( 3-2 ).
Key Players
Alvaro De Oliveira is Al Bataeh’s main man and has scored two of their last four goals ; if Al-Nasr can keep him quiet, they should have the quality to punish the visitors.
