Al Nassr vs Al Hilal Match Prediction
Al Nassr vs Al Hilal Match Prediction: All eyes will be on the Saudi Pro League title race when Al Nassr welcome arch rivals Al Hilal to Al-Awwal Park, in what could be the climax of the contest, on Tuesday. Led by Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr currently sit top of the table and with a win can put themselves just a point away from the league title. But, Simone Inzaghi’s Al Hilal are currently unbeaten in the league and with one game in hand, this could prove to be a crucial game in the title race.

Al Nassr have a few injury issues to contend with before the derby. Kingsley Coman and Angelo are both doubts while Mubarak Al Buainain, Raghed Najjar and Sami Al Najei are all ruled out. Abdullah Al-Khaibari meanwhile is also said to be unavailable. Yet, Ronaldo should start with Joao Felix in attack after both featured in the latest victory against Al Shabab.
Al Hilal will be without experienced defenders Kalidou Koulibaly and Hamad Al Yami through injury. There was some concern over the health of Theo Hernandez following the King’s Cup final but recent reports indicate that the French full-back has regained fitness before the game. Karim Benzema will lead the away line with the support of both Malcom and Salem Al-Dawsari.
Al Nassr Predicted XI: Bento; Sultan Al-Ghanam, Inigo Martinez, Abdulelah Al-Amri, Ayman Yahya; Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Al-Khaibari, Kingsley Coman; Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix
Al Hilal Predicted XI: Bono; Moteb Al-Harbi, Akcicek, Ali Al-Bulaihi, Theo Hernandez; Ruben Neves, Mohamed Kanno, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic; Salem Al-Dawsari, Malcom, Karim Benzema.
Al-Hilal has dominated the head-to-head rivalry against Al Nassr, and Al-Hilal has just over double the amount of wins (49 to 25) from a hundred games. The Saudi giants have also won the reverse game earlier in the season and will be hoping for more good form from away form and confidence from the previous game.
This might be a fiercely battled and very high-caliber Al Dubai derby between what are doubtless the two strongest teams in Saudi Arabian football currently. While Al Hilal has had an unbeaten league run under Inzaghi have made them reach dangerous opponents for any team, Al Nassr seems to be active for his end due to their scoring punch, including the likes of Ronaldo, Joao Felix, and Mane being in one of their best forms. So Al Nassr could just get the better of a very competitive derby.
