Al-Nassr entered the great battle with Al-Hilal as the leading team in the Saudi Pro League this season. Jorge Jesus' team has 82 points after 27 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
Al-Nassr's biggest strength is their almost absolute home form at Al Awwal Park. They have won 14 out of 15 home matches this season and only lost once - a achievement that brings great confidence before a decisive match in the championship race.
In the most recent round, Al-Nassr defeated Al-Shabab with a score of 4-2 on the day Joao Felix scored a hat-trick, while Cristiano Ronaldo continued to make his mark with a goal. That was considered a strong response after a 1-3 defeat to Al Qadsiah - Al-Nassr's first defeat after a 21-match unbeaten streak.
However, the home team still has reason to be wary. In the first leg of this season, Al-Nassr lost to Al-Hilal with a score of 1-3. Not only that, Al-Hilal has also won 3 of the last 5 encounters between the two teams in all competitions.
On the opposite side, Al-Hilal is also showing extremely stable form under Simone Inzaghi. This team is currently ranked second with 77 points, while still maintaining an unbeaten record in the tournament with 23 wins and 8 draws.
Recently, Al-Hilal added another title to its collection when defeating Al Kholood 2-1 in the final of the King's Cup of Saudi Arabia. This is also Simone Inzaghi's first title since taking over the team.
That victory helped Al-Hilal enter the match with a very high spirit. More importantly, they still have one match to play against Al-Nassr.
