Al-Feiha will be hosting Al Nassr on Tuesday at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo made his Saudi Pro League 2024/25 start in the preceding Al Nassr game on Thursday when Al-Alami launched the new campaign at the Al-Awwal Stadium in Riyadh with a 1-1 draw against Al-Raed.
The hosts, meanwhile, kicked off their season with a heartbreak, after conceding a 95th-minute goal in the defeat to Al-Taawoun despite playing with a man advantage for the final ten minutes or so.

Al Feiha vs. Al Nassr prediction
Al-Nassr are under pressure to kick off their season on a high note after a frustrating opening-day draw. They face Al Feiha, a team they've consistently outperformed in the past.
Given their strong track record against Al Feiha and with star power like Cristiano Ronaldo leading the charge, we expect the visitors to secure a win.
However, don't be surprised if the hosts manages to sneak in a goal. Despite the potential for a close contest, Al-Nassr's pedigree should see them through to victory.
Prediction: Al Feiha 1-2 Al Nassr
