Al Nassr are set to take on Al Riyadh at the Al Awwal Park on Saturday

Al Nassr are set to take on Al Riyadh at the Al Awwal Park on Saturday. This clash is set to take place in round 27 of the Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr are starting to perform to their brilliant best. In the last match, they secured a massive 3-1 win over Al Hilal. This win was Cristiano Ronaldo’s first away victory against the reigning champions.

They are currently languishing in third spot in the league with 54 points. The title race seems to be unrealistic for them as they trail by eight points at the top.

Al Riyadh, on the other hand, played a goalless draw against Damac in the last match. They have secured just one win in their last eight matches. This run of poor form has seen them drop to ninth in the standings. They now face a difficult challenge against the Knights of Najd, who are looking unstoppable.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr will be in action yet again. This time, they will play in a Saudi Pro League game against Al-Riyadh. The Knights of Najd are in the third position in the league standings.

They have accumulated 54 points in 26 league games. In those outings, the Riyadh team won 16 games, drew six, and lost four. Their upcoming opponents are in the ninth position.

Al-Riyadh have 34 points. They have played the same number of Saudi league games as the hosts. They come into this game on the back of nine wins, seven draws, and 10 defeats.

The Knights of Najd are on an amazing run. In their last three outings across all competitions, they have seen nothing but victories. Moreover, in all of those games, the team managed to score three goals each.

The first game was against Esteghlal in AFC Champions League Elite‘s Round of 16 second-leg (3-0). The next two followed in league against: Al Kholood (3-1) and Al-Hilal (3-1).

Cristiano Ronaldo played a big role in the 3-1 victory over Al Hilal last time out. As we all know the Blue Waves are one of the strongest teams in the division. The game could have gone in anyone’s way.

However, the 40 year old Portuguese sensation had a plan of his own. He scored an important brace to earn his side all three points and bragging rights. That game was his fourth consecutive one for the team where he scored at least a goal.
