With the volatile opening fixture out of the way it’s time for the second Pro League duel of the season. Al Faisaly eagerly anticipate Al Nassr in front of their home support.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Al Nassr have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
