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

The Falcons will take on the Knights of Najd on matchday eight in the Saudi Pro League

The newly promoted Neom SC will be hosting the current table toppers, Al Nassr, as both teams will be battling to get three points. This is the first time Neom SC are playing in the first division of the Saudi Pro League, and they have been very impressive so far. In seven matches so far, they have won four, drawn once and lost twice. With 13 points on the table, they are sitting in sixth spot.

Neom SC did sign some top-quality players, and those signings have made a huge impact on the team. Christophe Galtier is the man who is in charge of this side, and with his vast experience in the top division football in Europe, he is the perfect man to lead this club. So far, everything has worked very well for them, and they will be hoping not to lose their momentum.

On the other hand, Al Nassr have been very impressive in the league, but they suffered their first loss against Al Ittihad in the King’s Cup. Despite their great form, they failed to beat their arch-rival. But now Jorge Jesus and his squad will be looking to stay on top of the table, as other teams are slowly catching up. They can’t afford to take things lightly, as if they drop points, it will surely make things complicated for them. This will be a mouthwatering clash.
