The King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh hosts the “Capital Derby” match on Thursday, which brings together the poles of al-Hilal and al-Nasr in a match postponed from the eighth round of the Saudi Football League.
Al Hilal entered the tournament in fourth place with 21 points from 11 matches, won 5 matches and drew 6 matches, and has another postponed match with the Leaders Union, which currently has a 5 point lead from the twelfth round. , Al-Nasr entered the match in seventh place with 17 points from 12 matches, 5 wins and losses and two draws.

Al Hilal, who recently won the AFC Champions League title, have not conceded a goal in the last seven matches except for two wins at the expense of Al Rat and Damac, compared to a draw in five matches, with its last match. Two matches against Aba and Al Fayha defeats, and very close to the lead.
Al-Hilal did not take part in the competition, as Mohammed al-Buraik, due to corona, Nasser al-Tosari, was torn in the thigh muscle, leaving him aside for about two months, and Muhammad accumulating no-cards. , But in spite of these shortcomings he has distinguished the names in all the lines in addition to the ready-made alternative with the presenting ability he needs.
Al-Nasr suffers from a number of technical and administrative problems that have negatively impacted its position and results, placing it in a position unworthy of the sympathy of foreign names and international elements that abound in its rankings.
After his victory in the “Classico” which followed four matches against Al-Ahly, he did not taste the taste of victory, winning only two matches and losing the same, he came back and lost against Al-Thai. Postponed match levels, and the defeat was in front of the eyes of new Argentina coach Miguel Angel Rosso, who continued the match.
Al-Nasr, who has recovered most of the wounded players such as Abdul-Ila al-Omari, Abdul-Majid al-Saliham, Brazilian Anselmo and Argentina Martinez, is looking forward to getting up from his depression and returning through the big door. , As well as recovering him from his defeat in the semi-finals of the Asian Champions League.
Al-Nasser has not seen the efforts of its defenders Abdullah Mato and midfielder Abdel Fattah Asiri due to injury, but is able to make up for their absence in light of the famous names he owns.
