Al Riyadh are enduring a difficult season and currently sit 15th in the Saudi Pro League table, just one point above the relegation zone. With only 12 points from 18 matches, Daniel Carreno’s side are struggling to find consistency.
They have managed just two wins all season, alongside six draws and 10 defeats. Defensive problems have been a major issue, with Al Riyadh conceding a league-high 38 goals while scoring only 18.
Their recent form offers little encouragement, as they are winless in their last five league matches.
Softfootball reported Last time out, Al Riyadh were held to a 1–1 draw by Al Najma, once again failing to turn a competitive display into a much-needed victory.
Watch highlight below;
They have now gone 13 league matches without a win and have not kept a clean sheet during that run. Even at home, results have been poor, with just two wins from nine matches at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.
Al Nassr arrive in outstanding form after completing a perfect group stage with a commanding 5–1 win over Al Zawraa, a result that highlighted both their attacking depth and control in the competition. The emphatic victory reinforced their momentum and sent a clear message ahead of the next phase.
Domestically, Jorge Jesus’s side are equally impressive, sitting second on the table with 43 points, just three behind leaders Al Hilal. With 14 wins in 18 matches.
Al Nassr have taken to their official X handle to share a message with fans ahead of their next fixture, posting:
Home away from home… Al Riyadh is calling ⚡️
as they gear up for the trip.
Their most recent result was a comfortable 3–0 win over Al Kholood, extending their strong run to four wins from their last five games. Al Nassr have also dominated this fixture in recent years and remain unbeaten in their last five meetings with Al Riyadh.
Team News
Al Riyadh are expected to field Milan Borjan in goal, with Mamadou Sylla leading the attack. Al Nassr remain without Sami Al-Najei and Saad Haqawi but are otherwise close to full strength, with Cristiano Ronaldo set to start once again.
Prediction
Al Riyadh’s defensive struggles and long winless run make this a tough challenge, and Al Nassr’s quality and attacking power should be enough to secure a routine away win.
