Al Nassr are set to host Al Ettifaq in match week 21 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25

Al Nassr are set to host Al Ettifaq in match week 21 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. Stefano Pioli’s men are in good form and are sitting in the third spot in the points table. They still have a lot to do to win the league title.

Currently, they have been able to secure 13 wins in 20 games. The visitors are in 10th place with seven wins in the same number of matches.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr were held to a draw in their last fixture. It was the AFC Champions League match against Persepolis. Stefano Pioli’s men will be looking to continue their form in the Saudi Pro League. With their current form, they might even go on to win the title.

Al Ettifaq will be under-confident as they fell prey to last-placed Al Fateh in their last league game. The upcoming game will be a big challenge for the visitors. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. will look to control the match from the start.

Al Ettifaq are very capable of pulling off an upset and with a win, they can jump up a couple of spots. If the hosts secure three points here, they will close down their gap for the top spot in the league.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr)
Without Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence, Al Nassr yet again dropped points as they were held to a draw in their ACL encounter. Ronaldo will surely have to start for the team. The forward is the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League this season and is also looking to defend his Golden Boot from last season. Stefano Pioli’s plan for Cristiano Ronaldo is working well and CR7 will once again lead his side from the front.

Sami Al-Najei will not be in action for Al Nassr because of an injury. Simakan will also not be in action as he received a red card in the last league game.

The visitors will be without the services of Moussa Dembele, Jack Hendry and Marwan Al-Haidari due to their injuries.
