Al Ettifaq, led by their determined squad, have been in impressive form, recently securing victories over Al Fateh, Al Akhdoud, and Al Shabab Riyadh. They’ll be aiming to extend their winning streak with another strong performance against a formidable opponent.
On the other hand, Al Nassr enter this fixture following back-to-back draws against Al-Shorta and Al Ahli Jeddah. While they remain unbeaten in their last four outings, defensive frailties have emerged, with the team conceding goals in five consecutive matches, adding to the psychological burden on the squad.
Historically, the two sides have met six times since March 2022, with Al Nassr holding the upper hand, winning three of those encounters, while Al Ettifaq claimed one victory, and two matches ended in a draw. In terms of goals, Al Nassr have netted nine times compared to Al Ettifaq’s six over these fixtures, reinforcing Al Nassr's slight edge in their head-to-head battles.
As both teams prepare for another high-stakes showdown, Al Ettifaq will look to leverage their momentum, while Al Nassr seek to tighten their defense and continue their unbeaten run.
