The Knights of Najd will be after only three points tonight.
Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Al Nassr are scoring for fun at the moment. In the last two Saudi Pro League games, they have scored 10 goals, five in each.
Since Ronaldo’s arrival, the club are still in search of the league title. They are yet to do so, but seem closer than ever this season. With 70 points on board after 27 outings, the Knights of Najd are maintaining their hold on the top spot.
But with Al Hilal right on their heels, 68 points, they will only crave three more points tonight when they visit Prince Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium to face Al Akhdoud Saudi Club.
The hosts of the match, on the other hand, are the second-worst team in the division. Their performances have been really poor. They have just 16 points to show on the board.
They still might be a bit on the upbeat side after finally scoring and winning a game. This comes after two league defeats, without scoring even once.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo play tonight against Al Akhdoud?
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to play with a brace against Al-Najma SC in the last match. The 41-year-old was previously recuperating from a hamstring injury, which made many Portugal fans, who are eagerly waiting for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, emotional at the time of the occurrence.
Anyhow, their superhero and Al Nassr’s top scorer in the league is back. After those two goals, he is now on 23. But he still has some chasing to do if the player seeks the golden boot. Ivan Toney (27 goals) and Julián Quiñones (26 goals) are both ahead of him in the race.
