Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr: Club Friendlies 2023/24 Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups
Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, both from the Saudi Pro League, face off in the final of the Riyadh Season Cup, a mid-season friendly tournament, at the Kingdom Arena on Thursday evening. They earned their spots in the final by defeating Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami in their respective opening matches.
After ending 2023 with an impressive 20-game winning streak and scoring 60 goals, Al-Hilal began 2024 with a thrilling 4-3 win over Inter Miami. Despite goals from Messi and Suarez, Al-Hilal secured victory with an 88th-minute goal from Malcom, adding to first-half strikes from Mitrovic, Al-Hamddan, and Michael. Coach Jorge Jesus aims to use potential success in the Riyadh Season Cup against city rivals Al-Nassr as a springboard for further achievements this season. With a seven-point lead atop the Saudi Pro League, Al-Hilal targets their 19th title, ahead of closest rivals Al-Nassr. Recent history favors Al-Hilal, who have won three of their last five meetings against Al-Nassr, including a 3-0 home win in December.
Since their loss to Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr has been on a seven-game unbeaten streak, winning six straight matches and scoring 27 goals. After thrashing Inter Miami 6-0 in their latest game, they enter Thursday’s match with high spirits. Despite missing Cristiano Ronaldo, Anderson Talisca’s hat-trick, along with goals from Otavio, Mohammed Maran, and Aymeric Laporte, led them to their biggest win of the season. Al-Nassr aims to maintain their form ahead of the AFC Champions League last-16 tie with Al Feiha, a tournament they’re eager to win for the first time. Although they’ve won just two of their last eight encounters with Al-Hilal, they triumphed the last time they met in a final, winning 2-1 in extra time with 10 men in August last year to clinch their first-ever Arab Club Champions Cup.
