Al Ettifaq 2-3 Al Nassr result, stats and report

Al Nassr came from behind to win 3-2 at Al Ettifaq in a Saudi Pro League fixture that illustrated everything about how the reigning champions impose their structure on a game. The decisive moment came in stoppage time, and the patterns that led there were visible from the first half.

Al Nassr were dominant from the first whistle at Al Riyadh, winning 4-0 with a performance that exposed deep structural problems in the home side's defensive organisation. This was a statement of intent from the league leaders.

Al Ettifaq ground out a hard-earned 1-0 victory at Al Fateh thanks to a 78th-minute header, with the match data telling a clearer story than the scoreline suggests about where the structural gaps lie for the home side.

Al Nassr carry the look of a side that knows exactly what they are doing in the early weeks of the Saudi Pro League season. Al Draih arrive with very little data behind them, and that in itself tells you something worth knowing.

Al Ettifaq host a struggling Al Khaleej side that has conceded 12 goals in their last five home matches. The structural question is whether Al Khaleej can organise themselves well enough away from home to avoid another painful evening.

Al Nassr arrive at Al Khaleej on Thursday carrying the form of a side that has turned away fixtures into a consistent source of points. Al Khaleej, leaking goals at home and sliding in confidence, face a test of structural resolve they may not be equipped to pass.

Al-Qadsiah host Al Ettifaq on Thursday night carrying a concerning pattern at home, while the visitors arrive with a quietly impressive record on the road. The detail in the data tells a more interesting story than the surface result might suggest.

Al Nassr carry maximum points and a seven-goal advantage into their first home fixture of the 2026 Saudi Pro League season. Abha arrive without a point, without a win, and having conceded six goals across two matches.
