Al Ahli v Al Nassr preview: Saudi Pro League clash at Alinma Bank Stadium on October 15

Al Ahli will host Al Nassr at the Alinma Bank Stadium in King Abdullah Sport City on October 15 in the ninth matchweek of the Saudi Pro League 2026-27, with both sides arriving on winning runs.

The Marino Pušić-led side beat Al Fateh 4-0 in their last league outing and followed that with a win in their AFC Champions League fixture; as hosts, Al Ahli have looked in good touch and will now be looking to extend their winning run.

Ange Postecoglou’s men are on a two-match winning run after a 3-0 victory in their previous Saudi Pro League outing; Cristiano Ronaldo and company are defending the league title and are currently in third place on the points table.

Trincao has produced four goal contributions in the last two league matches for Al Ahli since returning from the recent international break and will be deployed on the right flank as he looks to deliver another strong performance against the defending champions.

The 41-year-old talisman has now scored a goal in both of the last two games for Al Nassr and has now scored four goals in seven Saudi Pro League games this season; alongside Joao Felix, Cristiano Ronaldo will keep the opponent’s defence on edge.

Al Ahli will miss out on the services of Edouard Mendy because of a shoulder injury. Sultan Al Ghannam is not going to be in action for Al Nassr due to a cruciate ligament injury. Abdulelah Al Amri and Kingsley Coman might have to sit out due to a lack of fitness. Al Sanbi (GK); Baattia, Demiral, Ibanez, Balobaid; Edoa, Al Johani; Trincao, Spertsyan, Al Shamat; Toney Bento (GK); Boushal, Simakan, Martinez, Aman; Yahya, Samu, Angelo, Mane; Felix, Ronaldo
