Al Nassr will play host to Al Ahli on Friday in a blockbuster Saudi Pro League match.

Al Nassr have clawed their way slowly up the standings after a tough start to the season. After losing their first two league matches, Luis Castro’s men have won four on the trot to rack up 12 points. This red-hot form has them four points off the top spot.

Al Ahli bounced back to winning ways last weekend after suffering their first defeat before the September international break.

The Classy returned to the topflight this season and have won five of their six games. They trail leaders Al Hilal by a point. Al Ahli have scored 13 goals but have conceded nine times which is the most of all the teams in the top six.
