Preview: Al Kholood Vs Al-Nassr
12 points separate the two sides in the league table:
Al Nassr will visit the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium to face Al Kholood in Matchday 8 of the Saudi Pro League. Al Nassr are enjoying an incredible season, as they have yet to taste defeat in the league. The Knight of Najd are currently on 17 points with five wins and two draws in their opening seven matches.
Al Nassr have improved massively under Stefano Pioli and are coming into this game on the back of an 11-match unbeaten streak. Cristiano Ronaldo is showing incredible goal-scoring prowess even at 39 and is currently the third-highest goalscorer in the league.
Al Kholood, on the other hand, have struggled to find their rhythm so far. They got promoted to the first division this season but currently find themselves in 15th spot. They have only collected five points and are barely outside the relegation zone. Al Kholood have tasted defeat on four occasions already, and they need to bounce back as soon as possible if they want to extend their stay in the Saudi Pro League.

About Saudi Pro League:
History
The Saudi Pro League (SPL), known as the Roshn Saudi League (RSL)for sponsorship reasons, is the highest division of association football in the Saudi league system.
The first season of competition was the 1976–77 season. The league had been operating as a round-robin tournament from its inaugural season until the 1989–90 season, after that the Saudi Federation decided to merge the football League with the King's Cup in one tournament and the addition of the Golden Box. The Golden Box would be an end of season knockout competition played between the top four teams of the regular league season. These teams would play at a semi-final stage to crown the champions of Saudi Arabia. The league reverted to a round-robin system in the 2007–08 season..
The association is also regularly ranked with the highest coefficient in Asia due to the successful and consistent performances in the AFC Champions League Elite, Asian Super Cup & Asian Cup Winners' Cup by its clubs. Al-Hilal is the most successful team, holding 19 titles in its history and most recently winning the title in 2023–24. Al-Shabab, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr are also some of the most successful teams in the league.
Beginning in 2023, the league started experiencing widespread international exposure due to attracting numerous top level players from European leagues through financially lucrative contracts, immediately becoming a star-studded league. The nation's Public Investment Fund took 75% stakes in four founding members (Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Nassr) in the same year as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program.
