Al Nassr will take on Al Hilal in a top-of-the-table clash in the Saudi Pro League at the Al Awwal Stadium on Friday. Despite the contest being between the top two teams in the standings, Hilal were already crowned champions last week with a 12-point lead over Nassr with three rounds remaining this season. The injured Neymar was part of the celebrations as his team won a fourth title in the last five years.
Hilal have had an incredible season in which they have remained unbeaten throughout the campaign and they will be looking to keep that intact. Here's another interesting stat regarding their already impressive season - they have scored more than one goal in each of their last 38 matches across all competitions and friendlies.
