Al Kholood vs Al Nassr Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
12 points separate the two sides in the league table
Al Nassr will visit the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium to face Al Kholood in Matchday 8 of the Saudi Pro League. Al Nassr are enjoying an incredible season, as they have yet to taste defeat in the league. The Knight of Najd are currently on 17 points with five wins and two draws in their opening seven matches.
Al Nassr have improved massively under Stefano Pioli and are coming into this game on the back of an 11-match unbeaten streak. Cristiano Ronaldo is showing incredible goal-scoring prowess even at 39 and is currently the third-highest goalscorer in the league.
Al Kholood, on the other hand, have struggled to find their rhythm so far. They got promoted to the first division this season but currently find themselves in 15th spot. They have only collected five points and are barely outside the relegation zone. Al Kholood have tasted defeat on four occasions already, and they need to bounce back as soon as possible if they want to extend their stay in the Saudi Pro League.

Players to watch out for
Alex Collado (Al Kholood)
Currently on loan from Real Betis, Alex Collado is one of the most important players for Al Kholood. He is known for his impressive playmaking qualities. He has also netted some crucial goals for his team. Paulo Duarte will rely heavily on the Spaniard to make a difference against the mighty Al Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr)
The Portuguese legend is brilliant even at 39. He has scored many goals with his incredible movement and awareness in the penalty box this season. He is the only player in football history to cross the mark of 900 goals and that is the perfect representation of his goal-scoring quality. Ronaldo brings a sense of inevitability when it comes to goals and Pioli will be expecting yet another masterclass from the former Real Madrid player.
