The spotlight falls on Al Jazira versus Al Nasr as the big clash of Matchweek 3 in the ADNOC Pro League, which resumes its usual drama after the international break.
Matchweek 3 spans three days, from Thursday, 11 September, through to Saturday, 13 September.
The big game takes place on the final day (Saturday, 12 September) at the Mohammad Bin Zayed Stadium.
Al Jazira sit seventh with three points from two matches (one win, one loss), while Al Nasr occupy second place with a perfect six points. With just three points separating the two sides, the contest remains wide open as both chase victory to climb further up the table.
This will be the fifth time the two clubs have met in September. The record is perfectly balanced so far: Al Nasr claimed victories in 2012 and 2017, while Al Jazira triumphed in 2021 and 2024.
Al Jazira’s Fortress at Mohammad Bin Zayed
The stadium has hosted 16 league encounters between the two sides, with Al Jazira winning 10 of them. Al Nasr have managed six wins at the venue.
Al Nasr Chasing a Perfect Start
Al Nasr have opened the season with back-to-back wins. The only other time they won their first three league matches was in the 2015-16 campaign.
No Draws in Sight
The last nine league meetings between the two clubs have all produced a winner (Al Jazira 7 – Al Nasr 2).
Al Jazira’s September form tells a similar story: their last 12 league matches in this month have ended decisively (10 wins, 2 defeats).
