Al-Ittihad will go up against Al-Nassr at the Alinma Stadium on Friday in another round of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League campaign. The home side have enjoyed a perfect start to their league campaign and will be looking to make it four wins from four this weekend as they continue their push for back-to-back Pro League titles.
They picked up a narrow 1-0 win over newly-promoted Al-Najma in their last league outing and had looked set to be headed toward a disappointing draw on the road before veteran midfielder N'Golo Kante netted the game-winner in the 96th minute.
Al-Nassr have also gotten off to a flyer in the new campaign and are making an early push for their first league title since the 2018-19 season. They carried out a 5-1 demolition of Al-Riyadh last time out in the Pro League, with Joao Felix, Kingsley Coman and talisman Cristiano Ronaldo all getting on the scoresheet.
