Monday evening will witness an anticipated showdown between Al Hilal and Al Nassr in the Riyadh Derby. 

Al Hilal head into the clash sitting comfortably at the top of the table with 35 points, having recorded 11 wins and two draws so far this season. 

Al Nassr trail closely in second place with 31 points, following 10 victories, one draw, and two defeats, making tonight’s encounter crucial in the title race.

Al Hilal head into the derby in high spirits as the only unbeaten team in the league this season. 

A victory would allow them to extend their lead at the top to seven points. 

Al Nassr, meanwhile, are eager to respond after relinquishing the top spot two rounds ago following back-to-back losses against Al Ahli and Al Qadsiah. 

Another defeat could further dent their title hopes and potentially drop them into third place. Coach and players alike will be determined to return to winning ways and cut the gap to just one point.
