Al Wehda is set to host Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr on February 25, 2025, at the King Abdul Aziz Stadium, Mecca, for Matchday 22 of the 2024/2025 Saudi Pro League. The game is expected to be intense as both teams face contrasting fortunes, with Al Nassr striving to keep their title aspirations alive following recent setbacks and Al Wehda battling relegation.
Kickoff is scheduled for 11:00 AM ET, with U.S. audiences able to access the match through streaming services like Fubo, FOX Deportes, and DirecTV Stream. The stakes couldn’t be higher with Al Nassr currently sitting fourth in the league, trailing leaders Al Ittihad by 11 points after losing to Al Ittifaq 3-2, adding pressure on them to perform well against Al Wehda.
Al Wehda's struggles have been evident, having only managed three wins out of 21 matches, and they currently find themselves at the bottom of the standings. Their recent form shows they are winless in their last seven Pro League matches, including a disappointing 1-0 loss to Al Kholood. Craig Goodwin, Al Wehda’s top scorer, will look to lead his team's offensive efforts against Al Nassr.
On the other hand, Al Nassr has had its share of turmoil, coming off two consecutive losses across all competitions. Despite strong performances earlier in the season, the lack of positive results has diminished their title hopes greatly. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has tallied 16 goals this season, remains pivotal for Al Nassr as they look to bounce back from their recent defeat. Al Nassr has been undefeated against Al Wehda for their last five encounters, which gives them added confidence heading to this match.
Given their recent meeting history and current standings, Al Nassr enters the match as the favorites. The goal for Al Wehda will be to utilize their home advantage and potentially capitalize on any nerves present within the Al Nassr camp following their shaky form. Al Wehda needs every point they can muster to escape the relegation zone and will fight tooth and nail to secure at least one point.
