Fresh off the back of reaching the quarter-finals of the King's Cup, Al-Nassr and Al Khaleej lock horns at the Al-Awwal Park Stadium in round 12 of the Saudi Professional League on Saturday.
Having failed to win both home and away meetings between the sides last season, the Al-Danah will head into the weekend looking to get one over the home side and end their four-match winless run in the league.
In a game where Anderson Talisca and Ali Hazazi received their marching orders, former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane came up clutch for the hosts as he netted the only goal of the game in the 107th minute to dash the hearts of the Commandos.
Al-Nassr have now won four games on the bounce, including a 4-3 victory over Al Duhail in the AFC Champions League, where they currently boast a 100% record and sit at the top of Group E after three matches.
Following Tuesday's result, Luis Castro's men have now gone 15 games unbeaten across all competitions, picking up 14 wins and one draw since suffering successive league defeats against Al-Ettifaq and Al-Taawon back in August.
