Al-Nassr will go up against Al-Khaleej at the Al-Awwal Park on Sunday in the ninth round of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League campaign. The hosts will be looking to continue their perfect start to the season and maintain their place atop the league table.
Al-Nassr got an easy 3-1 win over 10-man Neon SC last time out to make it eight wins from eight league games and remain three points clear of second-placed Al-Taawoun. The Knights of Najd, who have 13 wins from 14 games played across all competitions this season, are considered strong favorites to lift their domestic title by season's end and will be confident to get a result at home on their return from the international break.
Al-Khaleej almost inexplicably squandered a four-goal lead in their 4-4 draw with Al-Ittihad earlier in the month but were delighted to return to winning ways last time out, getting a comfortable 4-1 win over Al-Hazem despite going down to 10 men earlier. The visitors finished last season just four points above the drop zone but have made major improvements this season and currently sit in sixth place with four wins and two draws after eight games played.
