Al Nassr and Al Feiha are set to clash at Al-Awwal Park on Friday in a highly anticipated Saudi Pro League showdown. The third-placed hosts will welcome their 13th-placed opponents for a Friday afternoon encounter.
The Knights of Najd are determined to strengthen their position in the standings as they push to close the gap on the league leaders. Despite a strong campaign, inconsistency has seen them drop valuable points, leaving them in third place with 38 points—still trailing behind Al Ittihad and Al Hilal by eight points.
After 11 wins, five draws, and just two defeats in 18 matches, they remain well within reach of the title race and will be eager to keep the pressure on their rivals.
Beyond domestic ambitions, Al Nassr also have their sights set on continental glory, as they are among the frontrunners for the AFC Champions League Elite. Their recent form has been impressive, securing four wins and a draw in their last five outings. Maintaining consistency will be key to avoiding further setbacks in their quest for silverware.
Meanwhile, Al Feiha find themselves in a precarious situation, sitting just two points above the relegation zone. A trip to face Al Nassr—a side they have historically struggled against—poses a formidable challenge.
Although they possess players capable of causing problems, the gulf in quality between the two teams is significant. With only three wins, seven draws, and eight defeats in 18 matches, they have accumulated a modest 16 points and must find a way to upset the odds.
