Al Taawoun vs Al Nassr Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

The previous confrontation between these clubs ended on level terms.

Al Taawoun are all set to lock horns with Al Nassr in the matchweek 1 fixture of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. King Abdullah Sport City Stadium is all set to witness the intense contest between these sides.

Al Taawoun at home will be looking to kick things off on a positive note. Although they do not have the best record against their upcoming opponents, the hosts will be looking to work hard here to secure a win. It will be interesting to see their performances coming into the new season.

Al Nassr yet again missed out on securing a silverware. Cristiano Ronaldo and company fell prey to Al Ahli in the 2025 Saudi Super Cup final. The Jorge Jesus-led side still have a chance to secure some trophies this season.

But they will have to come up with a better approach here. Al Nassr will now be aiming to secure the Saudi Pro League title this season.

Kick-off:

  • Location: Buraidah, Saudi Arabia
  • Stadium: King Abdullah Sport City Stadium
  • Date: Friday, August 29
  • Kick-off Time: 11:30 p.m. IST/ 06:00 p.m. GMT/ 02:00 p.m. ET/ 11:00 a.m. PT
  • Referee: TBD
  • VAR: In use

Players to Watch

Musa Barrow (Al Taawoun)

The 26-year-old forward from Gambia will have an important role to play in the attacking front. Musa Barrow was the top goal-getter for his side in the previous season of the Saudi Arabian football top division. He will be looking to step up and will also be keen on helping his side in the attacking front.

The Portuguese talisman is all set to lead Al Nassr once again in the final third. Cristiano Ronaldo has won back-to-back Saudi Pro League Golden Boots, as he outscored every other player in the league. CR7 came up with a top performance in his previous game for Al Nassr, but it was not enough to lead his side to a win.
