A league game where both sides need points to stay in touch with the top group. Al Nassr sit 3rd with 19 points from 8 matches, while NEOM SC follow in 5th, three points behind but having played one match more. This game is therefore a chance for the hosts to close the gap and a test for the visitors to see whether they can cope with a top-level team. Al Nassr have just won 3-0 in the league, their attack is still ticking, but in their last five matches there was also a heavy defeat in the Asian cup mixed in. Meanwhile NEOM SC have just lost 0-1 at home in the league, but before that they scored freely with 4-2 and 4-0. Both teams therefore come in with attacks that are serviceable, but defences that still show gaps. The expected pattern is the hosts dominating possession and pushing forward, while the visitors sit back and wait to counter. The game will slow down if the hosts do not score early. If Al Nassr score first the game should open up, but if the visitors hold out until the closing stages, the game may end with only a few blows exchanged.
