Before tonight's clash: Numbers from the history of Al Nassr and Al Khaleej encounters

Al Nassr secured their anticipated clash against Al Khaleej mathematically before the kickoff, as previous statistics revealed a clear superiority for the 'Global' in the history of encounters between the two teams in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr are currently in fourth place with 15 points and are looking to secure another victory under Australian coach Ange Postecoglou, relying on Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo to lead the attack.

Al Khaleej are entering the match from 13th place after collecting only 4 points, and they are still searching for their first win of the season, making the clash against Al Nassr an important opportunity to improve their standing.

The Saudi Pro League records show that the two teams have faced each other in 14 previous matches, with Al Nassr achieving 10 victories, compared to just one win for Al Khaleej, while 3 encounters ended in a draw.

Al Nassr showcased their scoring dominance during those encounters, having found the net 29 times against Al Khaleej, while conceding only 8 goals, clearly highlighting the difference in the teams' tallies.

Last season's results enhanced Al Nassr's advantage, as they triumphed over Al Khaleej in the first round with a score of four goals to one, before reaffirming their superiority in the second round with a resounding five-goal to nil victory.

Al Nassr are looking to continue their positive results and maintain pressure on the top teams, while Al Khaleej enter the match aiming to break their negative streak and achieve their first win in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr finds itself in a stronger position ahead of the seventh round clash, but Al Khaleej knows that previous encounters do not determine the outcome of the match, especially with their desire to turn the tables.
