Preview: Al-Nassr Vs Damac
The hosts will be looking to close the gap up top.
Al Nassr are lagging behind in their chase for Saudi Pro League winners’ medals. They are already eight points behind league leaders Al Ittihad and six points behind defending champions Al Hilal. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. will be playing at home after a 3-1 victory on the road in the AFC Champions League Elite.
Looking at their upcoming opponents we see Damac chasing a top-half finish or better momentarily. They are 11th with 14 points after 11 outings in the division. Their priority? Maybe to scrap a point or three against the mighty Knights of Najd.

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.
