How to watch the Saudi Pro League match between Al Riyadh and Al Nassr FC, as well as kick-off time and team news.
In just their second season since promotion, Al Riyadh have shown impressive form, sitting comfortably in the top half of the Saudi Pro League. This weekend, they face a determined Al Nassr squad in the Saudi capital.
It’s fair to say Al Riyadh have made significant strides compared to last season, where they finished 14th, narrowly avoiding relegation. With only nine games played, they’ve already secured half as many wins as they managed through all of last season, and a victory here could propel them into the top five.
On the other side, Al Nassr recently suffered a 1-0 exit from the King’s Cup at the hands of Al Taawoun but bounced back with a 1-1 draw against rivals Al Hilal before securing an emphatic 5-1 victory over Al Ain in the AFC Champions League midweek. Since taking charge in mid-September, Stefano Pioli has led the team to four wins and two draws in six games. Though still unbeaten, Al Nassr find themselves five points off second place due to four draws in their nine league matches so far.
