The Alfred Schreuder-led side have faced a loss in their opening Saudi Pro League 2026-27 clash. They controlled the tempo of the game well, but failed to convert their shots into goals. After their recent promotion to the Saudi top division, Al Diriyah came up with an eye-catching performance and, despite being away from home, will be confident for their next one.

Al Nassr came up with a strong performance in their opening game of the new season. They secured a 3-0 victory against Al Fateh after dominating the contest. Ange Postecoglou’s men will be looking to come up with strong efforts once again.
