Round 12 of the Saudi Professional League takes place on Saturday at the Al-Awwal Park Stadium. Al-Nassr and Al Khaleej square off just after making it to the King's Cup quarterfinals.

The Al-Danah will go into the weekend hoping to defeat the home team and snap their four-match league losing streak after losing both of their home and away encounters against them last season.

In their match at the Al-Awwal Park Stadium on Tuesday, Al-Nassr defeated Al-Ettifaq 1-0 in extra time to go through the King's Cup round of 16.

Former Liverpool striker Sadio Mane came up big for the hosts in a game where Ali Hazazi and Anderson Talisca were sent off, scoring the game's lone goal in the 107th minute to break the Commandos' hearts.

Al-Nassr has now won four straight games, including a 4-3 triumph against Al Duhail in the AFC Champions League. After three games, they lead Group E with a perfect record.

After losing their first two league games to Al-Ettifaq and Al-Taawon in August, Luis Castro's team has now gone 15 games without a loss in all competitions, with 14 victories and 1 tie.

Al-Nassr are presently four points behind league leaders Al-Hilal, who have not lost a league game all season, in the Professional League standings with 25 points from 11 games.

Similar to their hosts, Al Khaleej had to fight extremely hard to defeat Damac on penalties in the King's Cup round of 16 last Monday at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium.

Woo-Young Jung's opening goal from the 27th minute was canceled by Nicolae Stanciu to send the match into extra time. After 120 minutes, there was still no difference between the two teams, thus penalties were used to decide the match, with the home team winning 6-5.

As the Al-Danah shift their focus to the Professional League, where they have lost their past four games, drawing twice, and winning one at Al-Okhdood, manager Pedro Emanuel will be hoping that Monday's outcome may spark a strong run of form.

Al Khaleej has only won twice in their first 11 league games, losing five and drawing four. With 10 points from these games, they are tied for 13th place in the standings with Abba and Al-Tai.

Next up is the tough task of facing a rival team that is unbeaten in their last three meetings and has only lost one of their eight meetings, with four wins and three draws since August 2014. The Saihat team will aim to build on their cup win and establish themselves in the Professional League.
