Ronaldo could win his first-ever Saudi league title this season.
Tonight, Al Nassr and Al-Hilal will square off in what looks to be a Saudi Pro League championship match at Al Awwal Park.
While Al-Hilal arrive knowing that a win of their own, while being a game in hand, might possibly swing the tide drastically in their favour, the hosts sit atop the table. Nassr know that success in this game would guarantee a title triumph.
This season, Al-Nassr have been the best team in the Saudi Pro League. With 82 points from 27 victories, one tie, and four losses, they are leading the league going into the season’s biggest match.
Jorge Jesus’s team has been especially strong at home, winning 14 of their 15 games at Al Awwal Park and losing just one. This record will give them a lot of confidence before a match that is very important to both teams.
Al-Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, will face Al-Hilal, who are in second place, five points behind them in the table.
How things stand
| Position | Teams | MP | W | D | L | GS | GA | GD | Points |
| 1. | Al Nassr | 32 | 27 | 1 | 4 | 86 | 26 | 60 | 82 |
| 2. | Al Hilal | 31 | 23 | 8 | 0 | 81 | 26 | 55 | 77 |
How can Al-Nassr win the title?
For Al Nassr to win its first league championship since 2019, three more points from the final two games are enough for them to lift the title. A win tonight will see them go eight points clear of second place.
Al Nassr’s victory would also be Portuguese great Ronaldo’s biggest achievement with the Saudi team since his 2023 transfer.
To prevent Al Nassr from winning, Karim Benzema’s Al Hilal must win this game and at least one of its next two games. They will also have to hope the Knights of Najd lose their final league match.
How many games do Al-Nassr have left to play?
They have two more matches left to play.
What time will the game start today?
It will start at 11:30 pm IST on 12 May.
How many games have Nassr lost this season?
