Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr: Full lineups confirmed as Cristiano Ronaldo starts in Saudi Pro League 2026-27 clash

The previous outing between these sides ended in favour of Cristiano Ronaldo and company!

Al Ittihad are all set to take on Al Nassr for their matchweek 5 fixture of the Saudi Pro League 2026-27 season. These clubs are going to square off at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.

The Tigers are yet to face a defeat in the new season. In their last five matches, they have secured three wins and two of their games ended in a draw. Al Ittihad were held to a goalless draw by Al Fateh in their last outing.

This shows inconsistency in their performance in the final third. They will be at home for their upcoming league game, and it will be a big advantage for them. Still, it is not going to be an easy game for them.

Led by Ange Postecoglou, Al Nassr have been on a phenomenal run of form at the moment. They have secured back-to-back wins in their last five matches and will be looking to extend their winning run. The Big Yellow are coming in after a 2-1 win against Al Taawoun in their last Saudi Pro League outing.

They will be away from home for their upcoming contest. It can make things complicated for them. With their strong attacking depth, they will be looking to cause issues for the hosts.
