Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr will lock horns against Roberto Firmino's Al-Ahli on Friday night at the KSU Stadium in Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League 2023-24. In the league standings, Al-Nassr are currently placed sixth while Al-Ahli are sitting at the third spot.
Al-Nassr had a difficult start, losing to Al-Ettifaq and Al-Taawoun in both opening games. Al-Nassr impressed after that loss, though, going on to win four straight games. The team will be eager to correct their mistakes and win the trophy this time around after narrowly missing out on a championship the previous season. Their last game was an AFC Champions League game, where Al-Nassr defeated Irani club Persepolis 2-0.
Al-Ahli will be playing their seventh league game this season. They got off to a stunning start to the season, winning their first four outings. They faced a bitter loss against Al-Fateh 5-1 in their fifth fixture. However, the loss did not deter them, and they won the next game against Al-Taawoun 3-2.
Head-to-head:
- The two clubs enjoy a closely contested, fierce rivalry among themselves.
- In the 62 games played, Al-Ahli has won 25, whereas Al-Nassr is not far behind with 23 wins and 14 games have ended in draws.
- In the previous fixture between the two sides last season, the match ended in a 1-1 draw in May 2022.
