Al-Ahli are set to host league leaders Al-Nassr at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah for matchday 12 of the Roshn Saudi League. The home side have enjoyed a strong campaign with just one defeat so far this season. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr arrive eager to bounce back after a recent draw narrowed their lead at the top of the table.
Team Analysis:
Al-Ahli enter the clash in strong form, sitting fourth in the Saudi League after a consistent season that includes domestic stability, continental glory in the AFC Champions League Elite, and a recent Super Cup triumph that boosted confidence. They have shown resilience against top opponents, with Ivan Toney leading the attack, while recent results underline a team capable of competing at the highest level despite some mixed outcomes. Al-Nassr arrive as unbeaten league leaders after a historic winning run, powered by Cristiano Ronaldo and a relentless attack, setting up a high-profile encounter between two in-form rivals.

Al-Ahli are tipped to face only their second loss of the season against a confident Al-Nassr side pushing for their first league title since 2019. Despite a recent draw, Al-Nassr remain the league’s most dangerous attacking team, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix as joint top scorers. Their recent dominance in this fixture further strengthens their status as clear favourites.
