Al-Nassr hosts Al-Ittihad tonight at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh in a high-stakes Saudi Pro League clash, with kickoff set for 20:00 local time Al-Ittihad sits atop the league with 68 points, while Al-Nassr is close behind in third with 63 points, making this match pivotal for the title race
Al-Nassr is looking to bounce back after a narrow exit from the AFC Champions League and has won four of its last five league games, but defensive lapses remain a concern Al-Ittihad, meanwhile, comes off a recent defeat but has dominated recent head-to-heads, losing just twice in the last 14 meetings with Al-Nassr
A win for Al-Nassr would close the gap to just two points, while a victory for Al-Ittihad could all but seal their championship hopes. Expect an intense battle, with both teams likely to find the net in a fixture that rarely disappoints for drama and goals
