Ronaldo’s team have got a better chance over the hosts. 

More than a couple of weeks have passed since the beginning of the Saudi Pro League season 2024-25. Teams, after playing initial few matches, are strategizing for their future matches. One of the most formidable teams of the tournament, Al Nassr will take on Al Ettifaq. Currently, Al Ettifaq with three out of three wins are standing at third position, whereas Al Nassr with one win and two draws are at seventh position. 

Al Ettifaq defeated Al Fateh by 2-1 in their last match. On the other hand, Al Nassr played their last match draw against Al-Ahli Saudi, resulting in a 1-1 result. This is not the start that Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. expected.

However, it’s still a long way to go. The last season went almost perfectly for the Knight of Najd as they finished second on the table. But Al Ettifaq were left disappointed after finishing sixth.
