Al Fateh vs Al Nassr Preview

Tournament: Saudi Pro League

Date: Monday, 26 May 2025

Time: 6:00 PM GMT

Venue: Al Fateh Club Stadium

In the final game of the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr will travel to the Al Fateh Club Stadium to face Al Fateh on Monday. The fifteenth-placed team will host the fourth-placed team in an exciting clash of the league. Cristiano Ronaldo's side will be hopeful to finish the season with a victory and end in the AFC Champions League spot, while Al Fateh will battle to steer clear of the relegation zone.

With 64 points, Al Nassr is presently in fourth place in the league and might move up the table at any time.

Despite having two losses in their past five games, their offensive prowess guarantees that they will always be a powerful force. Al Fateh, on the other hand, is having trouble staying consistent and is now in 15th place with 33 points (before the game against Damac). Their recent home performances, meanwhile, have been promising; thus, this matchup may be competitive. Ronaldo, who leads the league in goals scored with 23 this season, is still a significant player in this game. It will be vital for him to have an impact in important games. Al Fateh will turn to their most inventive player, Mourad Batna, who has created 12 significant opportunities and is still an essential part of their assault.

Al Nassr are anticipated to control possession and use their wide players to put Al Fateh's defence under pressure. Their ability to take advantage of counterattacks and set pieces may be crucial. In order to frustrate Al Nassr and hit on the break. They had great hopes going into the campaign, but their progress was hampered by management instability—Luis Castro was replaced by Stefano Pioli in September.

Al Fateh, on the other hand, is probably going to employ a compact defensive structure. Their campaign has been inconsistent, alternating between impressive home games and underwhelming away outings.

Al Fateh Team News

Suhayb Al Zaid's knee injury, which is predicted to keep him out until 2026, is Gomes' sole injury issue going into Monday's game. Sofiane Bendebka contributed to all three of the goals in gameweek 32, scoring two and providing an assist, but the midfielder still leads the away team in goals scored and might add to his 12 goals for the relegation-threatened team.

Al Nassr Team News

After missing the last two Al-Nassr games due to sickness, Cristiano Ronaldo—who has been linked to a move to rivals Al-Hilal at the conclusion of the current season—is still doubtful for this encounter. Jhon Duran will probably continue to lead Al-Alami's line if the Portuguese superstar is unable to play this week, with Sadio Mane, Ayman Yahya, and Otavio playing in the number 10 position.

Key Players to Watch Out in Al Fateh vs Al Nassr

Mourad Batna (Al Fateh)

The 34-year-old Moroccan winger has been a reliable player who influences games with his technical skill and experience. One of Batna's most notable qualities has been his ability to generate opportunities; this season, he has produced 12 significant chances, making him Al Fateh's most dangerous playmaker. His left-footed accuracy makes him a danger from set pieces and long-range strikes, while his dribbling and ball control enable him to manoeuvre in confined areas.

With 11 goals and 6 assists in the league, Batna has continued to be a vital player despite Al Fateh's difficulties. His ability to throw risky crosses and cut inside from the right flank has been essential to their offensive strategy.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr)

With 24 goals this season, he leads the rankings and is still one of the Saudi Pro League's most prolific scorers at 40. Al Nassr's pursuit of a top-three finish has been greatly benefitted by his ability to score goals at pivotal times. Although Ronaldo's style of play has changed with time, his finishing is still of the highest calibre. His flexibility is demonstrated by the 19 goals he has scored with his right foot, 3 with his left, and 2 headers.

Al Fateh vs Al Nassr Prediction

With Cristiano Ronaldo currently scoring 24 goals and their assault averaging 2.63 goals per game, Al Nassr comes in as the favourite. Al Fateh, now in 13th place, will need to rely on Mourad Batna's inventiveness and homeliness to remain competitive. While Al Fateh tries to hit on the counter, expect Al Nassr to maintain possession.

Predicted Score: Al Fateh 1-3 Al Nassr
