Al Nassr are set to lock horns with Al Hilal in Matchweek 32 of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League in what promises to be a thrilling Riyadh derby at Al Awwal Park. With both sides firmly in the title race, the clash carries massive importance heading into the final stages of the season.
Jorge Jesus’ men head into the contest on the back of an entertaining 4-2 victory over Al Shabab. While their attacking display was highly impressive, conceding twice exposed some defensive vulnerabilities that could become a concern against a side as dangerous as Al Hilal.
The Global Ones will be aiming to maintain their momentum in the title race, and playing at home could provide a crucial edge. Sitting at the summit of the league standings, Al Nassr will be determined to add another three points to their tally. Having already suffered a defeat to Al Hilal earlier this season, Cristiano Ronaldo and company will be eager to settle the score this time around.

Meanwhile, Simone Inzaghi’s Al Hilal remain unbeaten in the Saudi Pro League this campaign, although eight of their matches have ended in draws. The Blue Waves come into this fixture full of confidence after lifting the Saudi King’s Cup trophy with a victory over Al Kholood in the final.
Currently placed second in the standings, Al Hilal know that a win here would significantly reduce the gap to league leaders Al Nassr. Despite being away from home, they will be ready to put in a strong performance in one of the biggest fixtures of the Saudi football calendar.
