A battle of the heavyweights is set to unfold in the Saudi Pro League this week, when Al-Hilal take on rivals Al-Nassr at King Fahd International Stadium on Friday evening.
Fans are preparing for the first major Riyadh derby of the 2023-24 league season, and the stakes are as high as they could be, with the hosts currently leading the league standings while the visitors are right on their shoulders in second place.
The Blue Waves have been immense this season and come into this match boasting a record of 12 wins and just two draws in their 14 league matches this season, which sees them holding a four-point advantage over their opponents.
Jorge Jesus's side returned from the international break with a thumping 9-0 win over Al Hazm last weekend and followed that up with a fourth consecutive AFC Champions League win over Navbahor in midweek.
Salem Al Dawsari and Malcom found the net in the 2-0 win that night, and the latter has now scored four goals in two matches following his hat-trick against Hazem Al Samood over the weekend.
