Neom SC will host Al-Nassr at the King Khalid Sport City Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Saudi Professional League campaign. The home side have performed quite well in their debut campaign in the Saudi Arabian top flight and now sit sixth in the table, just four points shy of the continental spots.
They beat Al-Okhdood 3-2 on the road in their last match, with former West Ham United man Said Benrahma starring through a brace to finally open his account for the club.
Al-Nassr, meanwhile, continued their perfect start to the Saudi Pro League campaign with a 2-1 comeback victory over Al-Fayha last weekend, with team captain and talisman Cristiano Ronaldo netting a double to secure maximum points for Jorge Jesus’ side. They then turned their attention to continental football on Wednesday, thrashing Goa 4-0 to effectively confirm a spot in the knockout stages of the AFC Champions League Two.
The visitors sit atop the league table with 21 points from an obtainable 21 and will be looking to pick up another win this weekend before heading into the international break.
Neom SC vs Al-Nassr Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Saturday’s game will mark the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
- Al-Nassr have the best offensive and defensive records in the Saudi Pro League this season, with 23 goals scored and just three conceded in seven matches.
- Neom have scored 11 goals in the Saudi Arabian top flight this term, the second-fewest of any team in the top half of the table.
- The hosts are without a clean sheet in their last five games across all competitions.
Neom SC vs Al-Nassr Prediction
Neom’s latest result ended a run of back-to-back winless outings, and they will be looking to kick on from that on Saturday. They are, however, winless in their last two home games and will need to be at their very best this weekend if they are to pick up a result against the league leaders.
Al-Alami, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back victories and have won all but one of their 13 competitive outings this season. They have a perfect record on the road so far this season and should come out on top here as well.
Prediction: Neom SC 1-3 Al-Nassr
