Al‑Nassr will be desperate to end their recent unbeaten run stoppage when they host Al‑Qadsiah at AlAwwal Park on Thursday. The Yellow Wave surrendered top spot in the Saudi Pro League after a 3‑2 loss to Al Ahli SC, ending a 10‑game winning streak.
Despite that slip, Jorge Jesus’s side remain the league’s top scorers with 37 goals in 12 matches, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix each on 13 strikes.
Softfootball reported that Al‑Nassr are determined to get back to winning ways and keep pace with Al‑Hilal’s title charge. The club have also posted on their X handle:
“Home is a mindset
AlAwwal Park | Thursday, 8:30 PM
Nassr vs AlQadsiah”.
Team News
Al‑Nassr will be without Saad Al‑Nasser and Mohamed Simakan due to long‑term injuries, while Sami Al‑Najei (cruciate ligament) and Sadio Mane (AFCON) are also sidelined. Ronaldo and Felix are expected to lead the attack.
Al‑Qadsiah report no major absences, with Koen Casteels set to start in goal following a clean sheet in his last appearance.
Possible Lineups
Al‑Nassr: Al Aqidi; Al Ghannam, Al Amri, Martinez, Al Nasser; Brozovic, Wesley, Angelo, Coman; Ronaldo, Felix
Al‑Qadsiah: Casteels; Al‑Shahrani, Fernandez, Alvarez, Al‑Shamat; Baah, Juwayr, Weigl, Nandez; Retegui, Quinones
Al‑Nassr enter this fixture with strong head-to-head momentum, having delivered impressive performances in recent matches, including a 4–2 victory over Al Wahda in an entertaining Abu Dhabi friendly and a 5–1 win over Al Zawraa to complete a perfect group stage.
Softfootball Prediction
Al‑Nassr 3‑1 Al‑Qadsiah. Ronaldo and Felix should prove decisive as the home side rediscover their attacking rhythm.
