Al Hilal welcome fierce rivals Al Nassr to Kingdom Arena for a Saudi Pro League showdown on matchday 26. The hosts currently sit in second place, holding a comfortable six-point lead over their third-placed opponents.
With Al Ittihad setting the pace at the summit, Al Hilal trail the league leaders by four points as they head into this weekend's fixtures. Last season, they stormed to the title without suffering a single defeat, but their dominance has dipped this time around. However, consecutive wins before the international break suggest they may be rediscovering their rhythm.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr have struggled for consistency in domestic competition, though they remain in the hunt for AFC Champions League glory after reaching the quarter-finals. Given Al Hilal's home advantage and recent upturn in form, they enter this clash as favorites against an Al Nassr side that has often lacked fluency this season.
