Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates have already secured a win over Al Fateh earlier this season.
Al Fateh are gearing up to welcome Al Nassr in Matchweek 34 of the Saudi Pro League 2024–25 season. This final round fixture promises excitement and drama as both teams face off at the Al Fateh Club Stadium in what could be a memorable end to the league campaign.
Al Fateh currently sit in 12th place on the league table, following a season of largely average performances. Out of the 33 league matches they’ve played so far, they have only managed to secure 10 victories, struggling to find consistent form throughout the season.
Al Nassr, led by manager Stefano Pioli, already claimed a win over Al Fateh earlier in the campaign. However, with this fixture being held at home, Al Fateh will be hoping to capitalise on the familiar surroundings and push for a strong finish to the season.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr are placed fourth in the table and have failed to qualify for the AFC Champions League Elite next season. It marks another disappointing, trophyless season for the club, who had higher ambitions coming into the campaign. Despite this, they’ll be looking to end the season on a high note and add one more win to their record.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates will be aiming to complete a double over Al Fateh and give their fans something to cheer about in the final outing of the season.
