Preview: Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr
Simone Inzaghi’s unbeaten Al-Hilal side are set to host their fiercest rivals at the Kingdom Arena on Monday, January 12, in a Riyadh derby that could have a decisive impact on the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League title race.
The league leaders currently sit four points clear at the top, and a victory on home soil would stretch that gap to seven—potentially dealing a crushing blow to Al-Nassr’s championship ambitions.
The visitors, however, arrive desperate for a response. Back-to-back defeats against Al-Qadsiah and Al-Ahli have stalled their momentum, prompting Jorge Jesus to demand an immediate reaction. His task is complicated by the absence of Sadio Mané, who is away on Africa Cup of Nations duty.
Despite the setback, Kingsley Coman maintains that belief remains within the squad. Much of the spotlight, though, will fall on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is expected to inspire a revival against an in-form opponent. The Portuguese star opened his 2026 scoring account just last week.
Al-Hilal enter the derby brimming with confidence after a commanding 3–0 victory over Al-Hazem, while Al-Nassr’s defensive frailties have been ruthlessly exposed in recent outings.
All signs point to Monday’s clash as a pivotal moment in the season. A win for the hosts would place one hand firmly on the trophy, while the visitors are battling simply to keep their fading title hopes alive.
Al-Hilal (4-3-3):
Mohammed Al Yami; Hamad Al Yami, Hassan Al Tambakti, Akçiçek, Nasser Al Dawsari; Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Rúben Neves, Mohamed Kanno; Malcom, Marcos Leonardo, Salem Al Dawsari.
Al-Nassr (4-4-1-1):
N. Alaqidi; S. Al Ghanam, A. Alamri, I. MartÃnez, A. Yahya; Ângelo Gabriel, M. Brozović, A. Al-Khaibari, K. Coman; J. Félix; C. Ronaldo.
