The defending champions have a 100 per cent record under Ange Postecoglou and are already two points clear at the top of the table with three wins from three.But they had to dig deep to see off Al Ettifaq after having goalkeeper Bento sent off in the 12th minute and then falling 2-0 behind.Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted at half-time by Postecoglou in a controversial move that was ultimately vindicated as Sadio Mane and Abdulelah Al Amridrew Al Nassr level before the former completed the turnaround in stoppage time.Afterwards, Postecoglou hailed his sides character.What you have to understand is that its not just about the player quality, its about what kind of person they are, Postecoglou said. So yes, theyre top-quality players, but theyre fighters. And today they made a decision to fight.Doesnt matter how difficult it was, they werent going to accept it. And that shows more than playing ability. It shows their character.Postecoglou will hope such character is not required against Al Taawoun, who have yet to win in the league this season.They have taken two points from their opening three games, earning a pair of 0-0 draws and losing 3-2 to Al Kholood. With Abderrazak Hamdallah on target for both goals, he is the only Al Taawoun player to find the net in the league this season.They will settle for any goalscorer against Al Nassr, but the history of the fixture and recent results all point to a straightforward evening for the champions.The Pro League Table Pro League 2026 Saudi-Arabia Saudi Professional League #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 3 1 Al-Nassr330010289 W W W 2 Al-Ittihad FC32105327 W W D 3 Al-Hilal Saudi FC22007256 W W 4 Al-Ahli Jeddah22005056 W W 5 Al-Qadisiyah FC32015236 W L W 6 Al-Ettifaq32017526 L W W 7 NEOM32014316 L W W 8 Al Kholood31205415 D W D 9 Al Diriyah31112204 D W L 10 Al Khaleej Saihat30301103 D D D 11 Al-Hazm310245-13 L L W 12 Al Taawon302123-12 D L D 13 Al Shabab302146-22 D D L 14 Al-Faisaly FC301237-41 D L L 15 Al-Fateh301215-41 D L L 16 Al-Fayha301215-41 D L L 17 Abha301227-51 D L L 18 Al Riyadh3012511-61 D L L Position 1, 2, 3, 4 : Promotion AFC Champions League (League phase) Position 5 : Promotion AFC Champions League (Qualification) Position 6 : Promotion AFC Champions League 2 Position 7 : Promotion Gulf Club Champions League Position 16, 17, 18 : Relegation Division 1 Team News for Al Nassr v Al TaawounAl Nassr are without the suspended Bento in goal.
