Preview
- Date – Tuesday, August 27, 2024
- Kick-off Time – 07:00 pm GMT
- Venue – King Abdullah Sports City
Al Feiha will host Al Nassr in their first home game of the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League season at King Abdullah Sports City. They would struggle to get past Al Nassr, who are one of the best teams in the league and have a decent track record against them.
Hosts Al Feiha will be hoping to extend their four-match unbeaten streak at home under Kontis but they are winless in their last five games. This will be the 18th meeting between both sides and Al Feiha are on a bad run against Al Nassr in their last 13 meetings.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr are under pressure to kick off their season after their disappointing 1-1 draw in their opening game against Al-Raed. Given their strong head-to-head record against Al Feiha, we can expect an easy win for the visitors.
