Al-Ittihad vs Al-Nassr LIVE: The Saudi Clasico brings together two of the biggest clubs in Saudi Arabian football, with both sides entering the contest unbeaten in the early stages of the new season. Al-Ittihad have collected eight points from their opening four matches, while defending champions Al-Nassr have made a perfect start with 12 points from four games.
Al-Ittihad will be looking to make the most of home advantage under Jens Wissing. The hosts have recorded two wins and two draws so far, conceding just three goals. However, their attacking output remains a concern after scoring only five goals across their opening four matches, including a goalless draw against Al-Fateh in their previous outing.
Al-Nassr, meanwhile, have started the campaign in spectacular fashion under Ange Postecoglou. The reigning champions have won all four of their league matches, scoring 12 goals and conceding just three. They also showed their resilience in their previous game by coming from two goals down to beat Al-Ettifaq 3-2.
