Al Fayha vs Al Nassr: Preview

Al Fayha and Al-Nassr will square off in Gameweek 11 of the Saudi Pro League on Saturday night at the King Fahd International Stadium.

After ten games, the hosts have 14 points, which puts them in eighth place in the league. Meanwhile, the visitors are in third place, four points behind the league leaders Al Hilal, who have 26 points.

Al Fayha, who placed eleventh in the previous season, has had a mixed start to the 2023–24 campaign, with three victories, five draws, and two losses in their first ten games.

With a 2-1 victory against Al Akhdoud last week, Al-Burtuqal returned from the international break with a winning record in the top division that now stands at four games unbeaten, two victories, and two draws.

They failed to produce the same kind of performance in the AFC Champions League, though, as UAE Pro League team Al Ain soundly defeated them 4-1, sending them down to third place in Group A of that competition.

The hosts’ worst problem of late has been their home performance; in their last four games at the King Fahd International Stadium, they have not only failed to win any of them, but they have also failed to score any goals.

Although the last meeting between these two teams resulted in a draw, Vuk Rasovic’s team has lost five of their eight meetings with this opponent, drawing three, and being outscored 14-4 overall.

Al-Nassr, on the other hand, appears resolved to contend for the title once more this season, having come into this match with tremendous momentum following their tight loss to the winner last season.

The Knights of Najd defeated Al Duhail 4-3 in the middle of the week to seize the lead in their AFC Champions League group and extend their current winning streak to 13 games in all competitions.

In that span, the visitors triumphed in 12 games, and the only defeat they suffered came in the league against Abha, when they drew 2-2 in a thrilling match right before the international break.

Al-Alami, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, the league’s top scorer with 11 goals so far this season, have been clinical in front of goal, having scored 28 goals in their first 10 league games.

Al-Nassr is the overwhelming favorite to win this game because of their strong record against this opponent and their six-game winning streak when playing on the road. If Al Taawoun and Al Khaleej tie on Thursday night, they might move up to second place.
