Head to Head

Al Ittihad Form

Al Ittihad are top of the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League table, winning 11 of their 12 matches this season.

The league leaders lost 3-1 to Al Hilal in September and have won all eight Pro League fixtures since then. Four of those victories came at home, including a 2-0 triumph over Al Fateh in their last home outing.

Laurent Blanc’s side extended their winning streak to 10 matches with a 4-0 win at Al Ettifaq. N’Golo Kante, Karim Benzema, Houssem Aouar and Steven Bergwijn scored to secure the victory.

Al Ittihad Injuries

Forward Steven Bergwijn and midfielder Houssem Aouar are doubtful and could miss out here.

Abdulaziz Al Bishi, Abdulelah Saeed, Ahmed Bamsaud, Ahmed Sharahili, Luiz Felipe are all sidelined through injury.

Al Nassr Form

Al Nassr are third in the Saudi Pro League and six points behind Al Ittihad in the title race. The Riyad side have dropped points in three of their last five league games.

Their most recent league defeat was a 2-1 loss at Al-Qadsiah. The Global One followed that setback with a 3-1 win against Al Gharafa and a 2-0 victory over Damac.

Stefano Pioli’s outfit then lost 2-1 at home against Al Sadd in the Champions League. Al Nassr conceded after half time and equalised through an Al Sadd own goal before conceding in the 99th minute.

Al Nassr Injuries

Defenders Aymeric Laporte and Mohamed Simakan are injured and unlikely to feature on Friday.

Midfielder Sami Al-Najei is also unavailable for selection due to injury.

Verdict

Al Ittihad v Al Nassr

Al Ittihad have hit top form and Karim Benzema is one of the Saudi Pro League’s highest goalscorers. Al Nassr have struggled to build momentum and are likely to drop more points on Friday.
