Preview: Al Khaleej vs Al Nassr Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

Cristiano Ronaldo and company dominated the proceedings when these sides last met.

Al Khaleej are now going to have a face-off against Al Nassr for their matchweek 26 contest of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. This is going to be an entertaining outing between these clubs, taking place at the Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium.

The Pearls are coming in after bagging three points against Al Hazem. They secured a 2-1 win and they will now be looking to extend their winning run. Despite being at home for their next game, they will not be fully confident. Al Khaleej have not performed well in their last few matches.

Al Nassr continue their top form in the Saudi Pro League. They are at the top of the points table and will be eager to secure three more points. The Jorge Jesus-led side are coming in after securing a late 1-0 win against NEOM SC in their previous league fixture. Even though they will be at home, the visitors will be fully confident for their next outing.

Players to Watch

Joshua King (Al Khaleej)

The 34-year-old will be looking to step up his game so that he can help Al Khaleej stand a chance against an in-form Al Nassr. In 22 league games of the current campaign, he has scored 14 goals and has two assists to his name. Joshua King is going to cause issues for the opponent’s defence.

Sadio Mane (Al Nassr)

In the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Al Nassr. Even though he failed to score a goal for his side in the previous fixture, the 33-year-old remains a crucial part in the final third for his side. He will lead the attack from the left for the visitors and can also create some innovative plays.
