Riyadh Derby Can Clinch Saudi Pro League Title for Al-Nassr

A win would seal Cristiano Ronaldo’s first Saudi league crown.

Overview

  • Al-Nassr lead Al-Hilal by five points and will be champions with a derby win.
  • Al-Hilal can still finish first only if they win this match and then beat Neom and Al Fayha in their final two games.
  • Cristiano Ronaldo urged fans on social media to back the team, and Al-Nassr have won 14 of 15 home league games at Al Awwal Park this season.
  • After a 3-1 upset against Al Qadsiah, Al-Nassr beat Al Shabab 4-2 as João Félix hit a hat-trick and Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal.
  • Al-Hilal arrive as King’s Cup winners and remain unbeaten in the league, yet eight draws have stalled their push in a rivalry known as the “Derby of Fury.”
