Preview: Al Najma vs Al Nassr
Al Najma welcomes Al-Nassr to the Department of Education Stadium tonight, Wednesday, 25 February 2026, in a David vs. Goliath clash in the Saudi Pro League. Al-Nassr enters the match in scintillating form, currently sitting second in the table and riding a 10-match winning streak across all competitions. Remarkably, the "Knights of Najd" have kept clean sheets in their last eight matches, a testament to a defense reinforced by Iñigo Martínez and backstopped by the reliable Bento. With the league title race heating up, Jorge Jesus's men know they cannot afford to drop points against a struggling opponent. For Al Najma, the situation is increasingly desperate as they sit rooted to the bottom of the league table with just one win in 22 matches. The hosts have struggled significantly at the back, conceding 46 goals so far this season, and will be without key forward Felippe Cardoso due to suspension. To stand any chance of an upset, they will likely deploy a heavily defensive 4-4-2 formation, hoping that Hisham Al-Dubais can find a moment of magic on the break. However, facing an Al-Nassr side that has outscored them 17-1 over their last five meetings makes this a daunting physical and mental hurdle for the underdog.

The tactical narrative will likely revolve around how long Al Najma can withstand the relentless pressure from Al-Nassr’s superstar frontline. With Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line alongside high-profile winter arrivals like João Félix and Kingsley Coman, the visitors possess multiple avenues to break down a low block. While Al Najma will look to condense the space in the middle, the overlapping runs of Sultan Al-Ghannam and the creative vision of Marcelo Brozović will likely force the hosts to stretch, eventually creating the gaps Al-Nassr needs to maintain their relentless pursuit of the league leaders.
Al Najma Possible XI
Al Najma LineUp (4-4-2): Braga; Al-Hawsawi, Al-Haleel, Samir, Al-Subaie; Boutobba, Emad, Guga, Tijanic; Lázaro, Al-Dubais.
Al Nassr Possible XI
Al Nassr LineUp (4-2-2-2): Bento; Al-Ghannam, Simakan, Martínez, Yahya; Brozović, Ângelo; Mané, Coman; Félix, Ronaldo.
