Al-Nassr Riyadh (Home)
- Jorge Jesus’ Al-Nassr Riyadh have been scoring freely and conceding few goals under their charismatic Portuguese manager, who has turned them into a high-pressing, high-intensity side since taking the reins in July 2025.
- Cristiano Ronaldo has been the catalyst, going goal-crazy again in the 2025/26 Profesional League with 18 goals in 19 appearances, but it’s not just the former Real Madrid star who can hurt teams.
- Jorge Jesus’ men have won all of their last 5 and sit 2nd in the league with 52 points from 21 games, their title chase is very much on and with a strong home record of 9 wins and 1 defeat from 10 games, they should extend their winning streak to 6 on Saturday.
Al-Hazm (Away)
- Al-Hazm have taken just 1 point from their last two away games.
- Al-Hazm are 11th in the 2025/2026 table with 24 points from 21 matches and need to pull away from the lower half if they are to have a chance of staying in the top-flight.
- Jalel Kadri, who has led the team since April 2025, has installed a pragmatic, deep-lying setup with players who can counterattack quickly through direct play.
- Al-Hazm have scored 12 goals in 11 away league games this season, but they do pose a threat via the air, with Fábio Martins their main outlet, and Omar Al Somah in the front.
- Al Somah has scored 5 goals in 14 league games this term, 2 of them in the last 4 games, but they will likely come up short here against red-hot Al-Nassr Riyadh.
- Al-Hazm are the huge outsiders, and have a mixed record away, losing 3, drawing 5 and winning 3 of their 11 away games in the 2025/2026 edition of the Saudi Professional League.
- Al-Nassr Riyadh will get the ball forward quickly, looking to exploit space and Al-Hazm will be compact, inviting pressure before hitting on the break.
