Al-Nassr is gearing up to face Al-Hilal in a much-anticipated match, with Italian coach Stefano Pioli deciding to test his players through a tactical maneuver with the club's youth team this Tuesday evening, aiming to assess their readiness ahead of the awaited summit.

Pioli preferred not to play any friendly matches during the recent international break, relying solely on daily training, but he chose today to experiment with the anticipated playing style against Al-Hilal and to determine the starting lineup for the upcoming match.

The mini-match between the first team and the youth team provides the coaching staff with an opportunity to test the players' physical and technical readiness, especially after the return of the internationals, to ensure they enter the match at the best possible level.

Al-Nassr is set to meet Al-Hilal next Friday evening in a decisive encounter at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, as part of the 26th round of the Saudi Roshan League, where the team aims to reduce the gap with the leader.

Al-Hilal enters the match sitting in second place in the league standings with 57 points, while Al-Nassr occupies third place with 51 points, which increases the importance of this encounter that could significantly shape the competition for the title.
