Al Raed are currently in 11th place in the Saudi Pro League standings and have been plagued by inconsistency over the course of their campaign. The away side slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Al Fateh earlier this month and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Al Nassr, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best in recent weeks. The hosts crashed out of the King Cup of Champions after a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Al Wehda in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
