Al Nassr form and stats

1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for Al Nassr so far this season.

The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Al Ittifaq in the Pro League last time out and are looking for a win here. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Abha.

Late drama in the game against Al Ittifaq as Al Nassr were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until A. Hamdallah popped out and made it level in the 90th minute. A painful moment in the game against Al Ittifaq was the missed penalty kick from A. Hamdallah in the 60th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Al Nassr, as the Kings Cup home game vs Al Raed is only four days away.

The Al Nassr fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. 4 goals have been conceded.

Al Ahli Jeddah form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (9) away in Pro League, on their Pro League travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Jeddah, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 3-4 versus Dhamk (placed 16th).

A huge disappointment for Jeddah in their last match (vs Dhamk). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-4 defeat. As you can tell from the result, the match against Dhamk was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Al Ahli Jeddah were so close to getting something from the game against Dhamk, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Al Ahli Jeddah are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Jeddah manager V. Milojević has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Nassr, three draws and one win for Al Ahli Jeddah. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
