Two Saudi Pro League giants. One week. Two matches. Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli meet in the AFC Champions League Two semifinal on April 22—then face each other again in a Matchweek 30 league fixture at Alawwal Park on April 29. The prize on April 29 is potentially even bigger: an Al-Nassr win could effectively seal the Saudi Pro League title.

Al-Nassr vs Al-Ahli: Why This Fixture Matters
Al-Nassr enter Matchweek 30 with 76 points and a 15-match league winning streak. They sit 8 points clear at the top of the Saudi Pro League table with five fixtures remaining. A win here would push their lead to 11 points, mathematically decisive territory.
Al-Ahli occupy third place, trailing Al-Nassr by 10 points. While the title appears out of reach, they remain in a fierce three-way battle for the AFC Champions League qualifying positions alongside Al-Qadsiah and Al-Ittihad. Consequently, every point still carries significant continental weight for Matthias Jaissle’s side.
The added subplot of both clubs simultaneously competing in the ACL Two semifinals on April 22 mean both squads enter with fixture congestion and potential rotation choices that could define this league clash.

Head-to-Head Record
Over 36 recorded meetings, Al-Nassr leads the all-time H2H with 15 wins to Al-Ahli’s 10, with 11 draws.
However, the most recent league encounter belongs firmly to Al-Ahli: they won 3–2 at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium on January 2, 2026, a result that proved Al-Ahli can unsettle Al-Nassr even during their dominant title run.
The January reverse fixture is a key reference point. Al-Nassr’s defensive line was exploited twice by Al-Ahli’s press in that match, and the same vulnerabilities could be targeted again at Alawwal Park.
Form Guide
Al-Nassr last 5: W – W – W – W – W
Al-Nassr’s form is near-perfect. Their recent 4-0 demolition of Al-Wasl in the AFC Champions League Two quarter-final on April 19 was particularly dominant. Goals from Ronaldo, Inigo Martínez, Abdulelah Al Amri, and Sadio Mané confirmed their firepower across all competitions.
Key Absences (Al-Nassr): Inigo Martinez (hamstring), Raghed Najjar (ACL), and Mubarak Al-Buainain (ACL) are all sidelined. João Félix is a late fitness doubt with fatigue concerns after continental actions. Five players, including Brozovic, Simakan, Al-Ghannam, Boushal, and Ghareeb, are one yellow card from suspension.
Al-Ahli last 5: W – W – W – W – D
Al-Ahli also arrived in excellent shape, having secured AFC Champions League Elite semi-final qualification with a 1–0 win over Al-Duhail. Their squad is managing notable injuries: Merih Demiral, Roger Ibanez, Ali Majrashi, Zakaria Hawsawi, and Valentin Atangana are all unavailable. Roberto Firmino, a key ACL performer, is not registered for SPL competition and will not feature.
Expected Lineups
Al-Nassr (Predicted 4-3-3) Bento, Boushal, Simakan, Al-Amri, Martinez, Brozovic, Al-Khaibari, Mané, Félix, Coman, Ronaldo
Al-Ahli (Predicted 4-2-3-1): Al-Sanbi; Majrashi, Demiral, Suliman, Hawsawi; Al-Johani, Atangana; Goncalves, Al-Brikan, Galeno; Ivan Toney
Note: Official lineups are released one hour before kickoff.
Tactical Preview
The headline individual duel is Ronaldo versus Toney. Ivan Toney currently leads the SPL Golden Boot race with 27 goals in 27 appearances, while Ronaldo follows with 24 goals and 2 assists in 25 games.
Jorge Jesus’ Al-Nassr will likely press high and look to dominate through wide areas via Coman and Mané. Al-Ahli’s compact shape, anchored by Al-Johani and Atangana in midfield, will look to win second balls and supply Toney with quality service in behind.
Given both clubs’ ACL commitments on April 22, some rotation is possible. However, the league title stakes make wholesale changes unlikely for either side.
