Preview: Al-Hilal vs. Al-Nassr - prediction, team news, lineups
Apr 3, 2025
The Kingdom Arena is set to host a six-pointer in the battle for the AFC Champions League spots on Friday, when Al Hilal welcome Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Za'eem will be looking to make it four wins on the bounce this week, while Al-Alami are aiming to extend their unbeaten run to five games with three points.
Match preview
Prior to the international break, Jorge Jesus's Al-Hilal sandwiched an emphatic 4-0 Champions League triumph over Pakhtakor between two 2-0 league wins against Al Faya and - most recently - Al Taawoun.
In that triumph over Sukkari Al-Qassim, Mohamed Kanno and Marcos Leonardo netted either side of the interval to give Al-Za'eem all three points, and it would be fair to say that the day's visitors thoroughly dominated given that they generated eight times as many efforts on goal as their opponents.
Alongside those victories, Jesus's men have now recorded three consecutive clean sheets across all competitions ahead of this week's crucial clash, and their six domestic points have also kept them comfortably second in the table, where they are six clear of their third-placed opponents.
Friday's hosts' will be confident of maintaining that cushion considering that they have lost just one game at the Kingdom Arena since 2023, though that loss did come against Al-Ahli in their most recent home fixture back on February 28.
