Who is Al Nassr’s biggest rival?

The Riyadh Derby is widely regarded as Al-Nassr’s defining rivalry, pitting the club against Al-Hilal in Saudi football’s most storied city showdown. While Al-Ettifaq represents a different tier of competition, their clashes matter to fans in Dammam who see every result against the Riyadh giants as a benchmark. The H2H record between Al-Nassr and Al-Ettifaq does not carry the same historical weight as the derby, but recent league outcomes have sharpened attention on these fixtures as Al-Nassr’s dominance has grown.

Riyadh Derby Context

Al-Nassr’s primary rival remains Al-Hilal, with whom they share the fierce Riyadh Derby rivalry spanning decades. Matches between the two clubs draw the country’s largest crowds and carry the highest stakes in the Saudi Pro League calendar. Al-Ettifaq, based in Dammam on the Eastern Province, has never contested that rivalry — their matchups with Al-Nassr are significant but operate in a different historical lane.

What is the head-to-head record between Al-Ettifaq and Al-Nassr?

This is where things get complicated. Multiple tracking databases report different totals for meetings between these clubs, reflecting inconsistencies in how historical matches are counted across competitions and seasons. According to data from FootyStats, 23 H2H meetings show Al-Nassr winning 11, Al-Ettifaq 5, with 7 draws and Al-Nassr scoring 39 goals to Al-Ettifaq’s 29. SoccerPunter lists 42 total meetings with Al-Nassr winning 20 and Al-Ettifaq 12. AiScore reports 39 games since 2005 with Al-Nassr 19 wins and 11 draws. WorldFootball.net counts 37 meetings with 17 Al-Nassr wins and 10 draws. The variation stems from how sources treat pre-2005 matches, cup fixtures, and whether abandoned games are included.

Overall Stats

Across sources that report specific goal totals, Al-Nassr averages roughly 1.5 goals per H2H match while conceding around 1.3. Their Pro League form this season shows an average of 2.73 goals scored and 0.73 conceded per match. Al-Ettifaq averages 1.38 goals scored and 1.69 conceded in league play — a significant gap. Al-Nassr also holds a 48% win rate in the 23-match FootyStats dataset versus Al-Ettifaq’s 22%.

Recent Matches

AiScore indicates that in the last five H2H meetings, Al-Nassr managed just 1 win alongside 1 draw and 3 losses, with matches averaging 3.2 goals. This recent trend suggests Al-Ettifaq have been more competitive in recent seasons despite the overall historical imbalance. The implication: Al-Nassr’s overall dominance masks a recent shift in fixture competitiveness.

Kingsley Coman’s left foot makes the difference. Al-Nassr 1-0 Al-Ettifaq: Coman’s first-half strike gave Al-Nassr a 1-0 Saudi Pro League win over Al-Ettifaq, backed by 20-7 shots and a 3.14-1.00 xG advantage.

Al Ettifaq vs Al Nassr results

The most recent verified result comes from April 15, 2026, when Al-Nassr defeated Al-Ettifaq 1-0 at Al-Awwal Park in Round 29 of the Saudi Pro League. Kingsley Coman scored in the 31st minute, giving Al-Nassr their 15th consecutive league victory — a new club record. The win pushed Al-Nassr to 30 points from a 10-0-0 start, extending an 8-point lead at the top of the table. Al-Ettifaq’s record after the loss stood at 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses for 15 points.

Latest Results

ESPN confirmed the 1-0 result and Al-Nassr’s perfect record through ten matches. Sofascore recorded a dominant performance with 20 shots to Al-Ettifaq’s 7 and an expected goals margin of 3.14 to 1.00, indicating Al-Nassr created significantly better chances than the single-goal margin suggests. Flashscore similarly listed the Round 29 result without discrepancies.

Key Fixtures

The largest Al-Nassr victory on record came on December 1, 2007, when they beat Al-Ettifaq 5-0 in Saudi Pro League action. That result from WorldFootball.net remains the most lopsided outcome in the fixture’s documented history. The pattern: Al-Nassr’s biggest wins in this fixture date back nearly two decades, while recent matches have become tighter.

Why this matters

Al-Nassr’s latest 1-0 win looked closer on paper than the underlying numbers suggested. Their 3.14 xG versus Al-Ettifaq’s 1.00 indicates the result flattered the losers — Coman’s strike was one of many clear chances Al-Nassr created. For bettors or analysts relying on score-line alone, this match would overstate Al-Ettifaq’s competitiveness.

Al Ettifaq vs Al Nassr stats and lineups

Current season rankings via Sofascore place Al-Nassr first and Al-Ettifaq seventh in the Saudi Pro League, a gap reflected in their recent form. Al-Nassr’s attacking output this season averages 2.73 goals per match with a league-best defensive record of 0.73 conceded. Al-Ettifaq average 1.38 scored and 1.69 conceded — middle-of-the-pack figures. In the latest meeting, Al-Nassr deployed a lineup at Al-Awwal Park that included Cristiano Ronaldo, who has contributed 12 goals in 10 matches this season per ESPN data.

Match Stats

The April 15 match stats show Al-Nassr’s dominance across multiple metrics: 20 total shots versus 7, corner kicks heavily skewed in their favor, and an xG of 3.14 reflecting the quality and volume of chances created. Sofascore data showed Al-Nassr with 14 clean sheets in the season up to that point, highlighting a defensive record that has been central to their unbeaten run. Al-Nassr averages 1.51 goals scored and 1.34 conceded per H2H match specifically, suggesting they have typically controlled these fixtures even before the current streak.

Predicted Lineups

With Ronaldo leading Al-Nassr’s attack and Coman delivering decisive moments from wide positions, the club’s strongest XI typically features internationals in key attacking roles. Al-Ettifaq have relied on a more balanced side without a single standout scorer at Ronaldo’s level. For any return fixture, Al-Nassr’s attacking depth and current form make them clear favorites regardless of venue. The catch: Al-Ettifaq’s recent H2H record against Al-Nassr suggests they can compete on the day even if the season-long metrics favor the visitors.

Al Ettifaq vs Al Nassr prediction

Given current form and the H2H data, Al-Nassr enter any upcoming fixture as heavy favorites. Their 15 consecutive wins represent a club-record streak that has translated into an 8-point league lead, and their underlying statistics — shot volume, xG creation, clean sheet frequency — suggest the dominance is structural rather than fortunate. Al-Ettifaq have shown more fight in recent H2H meetings, but their league position and goal averages place them in a different weight class this season.

Form Analysis

Al-Nassr’s season averages of 2.73 goals scored and 0.73 conceded represent elite-level production for a top-flight club. Their longest Pro League winning run before this season was 12 matches, so the current 15-match streak marks a new ceiling. For Al-Ettifaq, averaging 1.38 goals scored suggests they can threaten but rarely dominate. The most recent match’s 20-7 shot differential and 3.14-1.00 xG split indicate that if these sides meet again, Al-Nassr’s margin for victory could exceed the 1-0 scoreline.

What to watch

If Al-Nassr keep their current form, the question shifts from whether they win to how they win. The 15-game streak shows no structural cracks — their defense (0.73 conceded per match) and Ronaldo’s 12-goal haul in 10 matches suggest both ends of the pitch are functioning. Al-Ettifaq will need to exceed their 1.38-goal average by a wide margin to change the result.

Why do H2H records between Al-Nassr and Al-Ettifaq vary by source?

For Al-Ettifaq, the path to closing the gap requires more than a tactical adjustment — their goal-average differential of roughly 1.35 goals per match against Al-Nassr reflects a structural disparity in squad depth and firepower. For Al-Nassr, the priority is maintaining momentum; with Ronaldo delivering at a 12-goals-in-10-matches rate and their defense holding at under one conceded per match, the current streak looks sustainable unless key injuries disrupt the XI. The next fixture, whenever confirmed, will test whether Al-Ettifaq can translate their improved recent H2H record into a result that actually matters in the league table.
