Al-Nassr host Damac at Alawwal Park with the Saudi Pro League title within reach. A late equaliser against Al-Hilal delayed celebrations, leaving Al-Nassr two points clear entering the final round. Damac remain in the relegation battle and could still drop into the bottom three depending on other results. Al-Nassr have been dominant most of the season and are unbeaten in their last nine home league matches, winning eight. They have scored in every Saudi Pro League match this season and hold the division’s strongest attacking record. Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to lead the attack alongside Joao Felix and Sadio Mane, with Kingsley Coman and Marcelo Brozovic providing depth when fit. Marcelo Brozovic may miss the match with a groin injury, and Abdullah Al-Khaibari is doubtful with a hamstring issue.
"Al-Nassr host Damac at Alawwal Park on Thursday night knowing victory will secure the Saudi Pro League title. A dramatic late equaliser conceded against Al-Hilal last week delayed the celebrations for Jorge Jesus' side, but the league leaders still hold a two-point advantage heading into the final round of the season. For Damac, the equation is very different. The visitors remain locked in the relegation battle and could still be dragged into the bottom three if results go against them."
"Al-Nassr appeared moments away from taking a huge step towards the title in last week's Riyadh derby before a stoppage-time own goal from Bento denied them all three points in a tense 1-1 draw. Despite that frustration, the title remains within their control, with a win on Thursday enough to deliver a first league crown since the 2018-19 campaign."
"Jesus' side have been dominant for most of the season and head into the final day unbeaten in their last nine home league matches, winning eight of those games. While performances at Alawwal Park have not always been flawless in recent weeks, Al-Nassr's attacking quality has consistently carried them through difficult moments. They have scored in every Saudi Pro League match this season and possess the strongest attacking record in the division heading into the final round."
"Much of the spotlight will once again fall on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is looking to guide Al-Nassr to a long-awaited league title. Although the Portuguese forward has scored just once in his last three league appearances, he remains one of the division's standout performers and will lead the attack alongside Joao Felix and Sadio Mane. Al-Nassr's attacking depth has been a major factor throughout the campaign, with players such as Kingsley Coman and Marcelo Brozovic also playing key roles when fit."
