These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pro League. That game was an away game at Abha, so at least Al Nassr are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Al Nassr form and stats

Only two Pro League home games for Al Nassr so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Nassr faced defeat in their previous match, away at Abha (1-2). Prior to that, an away loss at Al Hilal in the Kings Cup.

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at A. Hamdallah for missing a penalty kick versus Abha in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Early season league goal statistics from Al Nassr's 2 home games: 3 goals, 2 conceded.
