Al-Nassr head into this clash as the dominant force in the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League, sitting proudly at the top of the table and maintaining an unbeaten league record. The Riyadh giants have amassed 31 points from 11 matches, having dropped points for the first time this season in their most recent outing against Al Ettifaq after beginning the campaign with a remarkable 10-match winning streak.
That historic run was highlighted by a commanding 3–0 victory over Al Okhdood on December 27, 2025, a result that saw Al-Nassr become the first club in Saudi Pro League history to win their opening 10 matches of a season. Cristiano Ronaldo was once again the star of the show, scoring twice to underline his immense influence on a team enjoying one of the most impressive starts in league history.
Al-Nassr’s flawless sequence came to an end on December 30, when they were held to a 2–2 draw away at Al Ettifaq. While the result halted their winning momentum, it preserved their unbeaten status and ensured they remained clear at the summit of the standings. Ronaldo found the net once more, capping off a prolific 2025 in which he scored over 30 goals across all competitions.
Under the guidance of head coach Jorge Jesus, Al-Nassr have developed into a formidable attacking unit. Their high-tempo style and relentless offensive pressure have been driven by Ronaldo, with Joao Félix and other attacking talents providing vital support. This balance has allowed the side to remain a consistent goal threat in both domestic and continental competitions.
Recent performances further reflect their dominance. Alongside the win over Al Okhdood, Al-Nassr have recorded emphatic victories against Al Khaleej (4–1) and Al Fayha (3–1), as well as impressive away triumphs over Neom SC (3–1) and Al Hazem (2–0). The draw against Al Ettifaq stands as the only blemish on an otherwise near-perfect run.
Across their last six league matches, Al-Nassr have collected five wins and one draw, scoring 16 goals while conceding just four. These numbers underline not only their attacking firepower but also their defensive solidity, reinforcing their status as the Saudi Pro League’s most complete side heading into this high-profile encounter.
