A big clash as the Knights of Najd return after the September-October international break.
Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Al Nassr will host Diriyah at Alawwal Park, a multi-purpose stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The defending champions currently sit in fourth place in the Saudi Pro League 2026-27 standings. Ange Postecoglou’s team have so far played seven league games. In those outings, they have won five games. Meanwhile, the other two ended in a draw and a defeat each.
They are among the highest-scoring sides, having scored 16 league goals. After conceding seven goals, they now stand with a nine-goal difference.
Just four places below Al Nassr stand Diriyah. They have only managed three league wins, while having two draws and two defeats to their names. Their attacking output has been pretty dull.
The team has managed only seven goals scored while conceding five. They will have high concerns when facing the defending champions that have Ronaldo in attack.
