The hosts set for a battle against Cristiano Ronaldo and co.

Al Ahli are all ready to host Al Nassr in Matchday 20 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. The fans will be in for a treat, seeing many big names on a single field. Al Ahli Saudi are in fifth place in the league table as they have been able to clinch 12 wins in 19 matches played so far this season. Al Nassr on the other hand are in the third spot with the same amount of wins in the same amount of matches. This is because they have only lost a couple of games and Al Ahli have lost five games.

The hosts will be confident enough as they are coming in after securing a win over Al Fateh in their previous Saudi Pro League fixture. It was an easy win for Al Ahli but they conceded a red card and because of this they will miss out on one of their players. They are on a victory course and will be looking to continue with it.

Stefano Pioli’s men will be travelling away from home. The coming league outing is not going to be an easy affair for Al Nassr. If they want to be in the title race they will have to bag those three points. This is an important match for both Al Ahli and Al Nassr. With the addition of Jhon Duran to their squad, Al Nassr have increased the quality of their attack.

Players to Watch

Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)

Ivan Toney helped Al Ahli secure an easy win in their previous league fixture after netting in a brace. He converted a couple of spot kicks and led his side to an easy win. Toney will be in action once again and Al Ahli will need him to net a goal or two. Linking with Riyad Mahrez and Roberto Firmino upfront, the English striker can be a big threat to Stefano Pioli’s men.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr)

CR7 scored his first goal after turning 40 years old in Al Nassr’s previous Saudi Pro League fixture. Leading the attack, Cristiano Ronaldo is a great threat to the opponent’s defence. From scoring goals inside the box to scoring goals from outside the box, Ronaldo can do it all. With Jhon Duran alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in front, Stefano Pioli’s men can unleash havoc on their opponents.
