Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Nassr travel to Jeddah to take on Al-Ittihad in a blockbuster clash on Saturday. This fixture carries extra weight given the two clubs' historical rivalry.
Al-Nassr enter this fixture in red-hot form under new head coach Ange Postecoglou, who took charge on a two-year deal this July after being sacked by both Tottenham Hotspur (despite winning the 2025 Europa League) and Nottingham Forest last season.
Under him, Al-Nassr have made a flawless start to the 2026-27 season, winning all four of their opening league matches and sitting top of the table with 12 points.
Al-Nassr star player Cristiano Ronaldo continues to lead the line for Al-Nassr, having scored two goals in three league appearances so far this season, including the match-winner in a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Al-Ettifaq. The 41-year-old was also on the scoresheet in Al-Nassr's 2-1 win over Al-Taawoun, netting after a deft pull-back from Sadio Mané.
On the other hand, Al-Ittihad have been placed fifth in the standings, having won two and drawn two of the four games they have played.
Venue, Match Timing
The Al-Ittihad vs Al-Nassr league match in the Saudi Pro League is scheduled to be played at Aminma Bank Stadium at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium from 11:30 p.m. Indian Standard Time on Saturday.
