Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2024-25

Karim Benzema and Co. stole a win against Al Nassr the last time both sides met.

Al Nassr are all set to host Al Ittihad in the match week 30 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema will be against one another yet again and the contest will take place at the Al Awwal Park.

Despite being at home, Stefano Pioli’s Al Nassr will be under pressure. They were eliminated from the AFC Champions League Elite after their poor showing. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. fell to Al Ittihad previously this season. Al Nassr will not be looking to make the same mistakes this time.

The hosts will be looking to take advantage of their home ground and they still have a chance to win the Saudi Pro League title this season, but for that, Nassr will have to win all of their remaining league matches in the ongoing season.
