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

Jorge Jesus’ men haven’t conceded a goal in their last eight matches.

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

Nejmeh Unaizah will be at home for their next matchup, but it is not going to make things any easier for them. Having won only one of their 22 games, they are in last place on the league table.

With this pace, Al Najma might even face a demotion at the end of the season. They are coming in after facing a 1-4 defeat against Al Ahli.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo and company have performed well in their last few matches and will be eager to keep their winning run going. Despite being away from home, they will be fully confident.

Al Nassr are once again in second place in the Saudi Pro League table. They will now be aiming to get back to leaders position. They are likely to give the hosts a hard time here.

Players to Watch

Lazaro (Al Najma)

The 23-year-old will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against an in-form Al Nassr. Lazaro was the sole goal scorer for Al Najma in their previous outing, but it was not enough for them to avoid the defeat. In 16 league appearances of the ongoing campaign, he has six goal contributions.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr)

The Portuguese talisman was once again on the scoresheet for Al Nassr, and he will be keen to keep his goal-scoring run going. He scored a sensational brace in the previous fixture.

Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored 20 goals in 20 Saudi Pro League matches this season. CR7 will be a menace to the opponent’s defence. The 41-year-old is in top form at the moment.
