Al-Nassr are winless in their previous three matches.
After witnessing his team lose the top spot in the Saudi Pro League during the 2025–26 season following a spectacular start, Cristiano Ronaldo has had a challenging run of results at Al Nassr.
Al Nassr began the season with a record-breaking run of ten straight victories, but in recent weeks, they have found it difficult to sustain that pace.
Since the beginning of 2026, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team has suffered consecutive losses to Al Ahli and Al Qadsiah after a 2-2 draw with Al Ettifaq. This run has cost them significant ground in the race for the championship.
Al Hilal recently went top in the race for the championship and are currently leading the SPL standings with 35 points. With 35 goals in 13 games (only behind Al Nassr’s 38), Hilal have the second-most potent offence in the league under new head coach Simone Inzaghi, who was hired in June.
Given the significance of tonight’s game, many question whether Al Nassr head coach Jorge Jesus will start Cristiano Ronaldo, who has already played two full games.
