Al Nassr vs Al Riyadh Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2024-25

The Knights of Najd picked up a massive win against Al Hilal in the last match.

Al Nassr are set to take on Al Riyadh at the Al Awwal Park on Saturday. This clash is set to take place in round 27 of the Saudi Pro League. 

Al Nassr are starting to perform to their brilliant best. In the last match, they secured a massive 3-1 win over Al Hilal. This win was Cristiano Ronaldo’s first away victory against the reigning champions.

They are currently languishing in third spot in the league with 54 points. The title race seems to be unrealistic for them as they trail by eight points at the top. 

Al Riyadh, on the other hand, played a goalless draw against Damac in the last match. They have secured just one win in their last eight matches. This run of poor form has seen them drop to ninth in the standings. They now face a difficult challenge against the Knights of Najd, who are looking unstoppable.

Players to Watch

Cristiano Ronaldo (⁠Al Nassr)

Cristiano Ronaldo continues his fine goal-scoring form with a brace against Al Hilal. This season, he has already hit the 21-goal mark from 25 matches. In his last five matches, he has scored five goals to lead the goal-scoring chart. He seems very likely to reach the 1000 goal mark with the form he is in.

The towering goalkeeper has been one of the top performers for Al Riyadh this season. This season, he has kept eight clean sheets from 26 matches. Borjan has already racked up 92 saves with a 72.4% save percentage this season. He will once again aim to be at his brilliant best to frustrate the opponents.
