Al-Nassr began their title defence with a convincing 3-0 victory over Al-Fateh. The result marked the first league match in charge for new manager Ange Postecoglou, who succeeded Jorge Jesus as head coach.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s side have also made a winning start to their King’s Cup campaign. Al-Nassr beat Al-Diriyah 4-1 in the round of 32, giving them a second victory in competitive action before the trip to face Al-Riyadh.
The fixture will be Al-Riyadh’s opportunity to test themselves against the reigning Saudi champions in front of their home supporters. Al-Nassr, meanwhile, will be aiming to maintain the momentum created by their strong opening results under Postecoglou.
