Preview: Al-Orobah vs Al-Nassr
Stefano Pioli’s men dominated Al Ettifaq in their previous meeting.
Al Nassr are set to host Al Ettifaq in match week 21 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. Stefano Pioli’s men are in good form and are sitting in the third spot in the points table. They still have a lot to do to win the league title.
Currently, they have been able to secure 13 wins in 20 games. The visitors are in 10th place with seven wins in the same number of matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr were held to a draw in their last fixture. It was the AFC Champions League match against Persepolis. Stefano Pioli’s men will be looking to continue their form in the Saudi Pro League. With their current form, they might even go on to win the title.
Al Ettifaq will be under-confident as they fell prey to last-placed Al Fateh in their last league game. The upcoming game will be a big challenge for the visitors. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. will look to control the match from the start.
Al Ettifaq are very capable of pulling off an upset and with a win, they can jump up a couple of spots. If the hosts secure three points here, they will close down their gap for the top spot in the league.
About Saudi Pro League:
History
The Saudi Pro League (SPL), known as the Roshn Saudi League (RSL)for sponsorship reasons, is the highest division of association football in the Saudi league system.
The first season of competition was the 1976–77 season. The league had been operating as a round-robin tournament from its inaugural season until the 1989–90 season, after that the Saudi Federation decided to merge the football League with the King's Cup in one tournament and the addition of the Golden Box. The Golden Box would be an end of season knockout competition played between the top four teams of the regular league season. These teams would play at a semi-final stage to crown the champions of Saudi Arabia. The league reverted to a round-robin system in the 2007–08 season..
The association is also regularly ranked with the highest coefficient in Asia due to the successful and consistent performances in the AFC Champions League Elite, Asian Super Cup & Asian Cup Winners' Cup by its clubs. Al-Hilal is the most successful team, holding 19 titles in its history and most recently winning the title in 2023–24. Al-Shabab, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr are also some of the most successful teams in the league.
Beginning in 2023, the league started experiencing widespread international exposure due to attracting numerous top level players from European leagues through financially lucrative contracts, immediately becoming a star-studded league. The nation's Public Investment Fund took 75% stakes in four founding members (Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Nassr) in the same year as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program.
