In the 25th round of the Saudi Pro League, Al-Nassr will host Al Kholood at home on March 14, 2025, at 19:00 at King Saud University Stadium. This match is important for both teams, as Al-Nassr is fighting for the podium places, while Al Kholood wants to consolidate its position in the midfield.
Team performance
Al-Nassr:
Al-Nassr are currently in 4th place in the league with 48 points. They have been inconsistent recently, winning two, losing two and drawing two of their last six matches. Their last league match saw them draw 2-2 against Al-Shabab. However, they qualified confidently for the AFC Champions League with a 3-0 win over Esteghlal.
Al Kholood:
Al Kholood are 11th in the table with 31 points. They have won three of their last four league matches, indicating an improving form. They defeated Al-Fateh 2-0 in their last match. However, they have been less successful away from home, losing four consecutive away matches since January 10, conceding a total of 12 goals.
Important missing items
Al-Nassr:
The home team will be without Mohammed Al-Fatil, who is suspended after receiving a red card against Al-Shabab. Ali Lajami is expected to take his place in central defence. No further changes are expected as head coach Stefano Pioli rested several key players in the latter stages of the Champions League clash in midweek.
Al Kholood:
Mohammed Sawaan is unavailable due to injury for the visitors, and Hammam Al-Hammami is expected to take his place. Hamdan Al-Shammrani is also injured, so Sultan Al-Shehri will likely start in his place.
Tactical analysis
Al-Nassr:
Stefano Pioli's team is expected to use a 4-2-3-1 formation. Al-Boushal, Simakan, Lajami and Al-Najdi will play in defence. Brozovic and Al-Hassan will provide stability in midfield, while the attacking trio of Jhon Duran, Yahya and Sadio Mané will support Cristiano Ronaldo in a wedge role. Ronaldo is currently the top scorer in the Saudi league with 18 goals and could be a key player in this match.
Al Kholood:
Noureddine Zekri's team will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Al-Hawsawi, Troost-Ekong, Jahfali and Al-Shehri will be in defence. Dieng and N'Doram will be in midfield, with Al-Hammami, Collado and Maolida supporting the lone striker, Muleka.
Weather conditions
The weather in Riyadh during the match is expected to be pleasant, with temperatures around 25°C and low humidity. Precipitation is unlikely, so the weather will not significantly affect the game.
