The Knights of Najd suffered their first league defeat of the season in the previous game.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr will host Al Qadsiah at Al Awwal Park tonight, setting up a pivotal match at the top half of the Roshn Saudi League.
The division’s second and fifth-place teams square off in Matchweek 13. Al Nassr are hoping to recover from their season’s first loss.
Al Hilal’s 2-0 victory at Damac and the 3-2 loss at Al Ahli meant that Cristiano Ronaldo and company lost their top spot, which they had maintained since the start of the season.
Can they now resume their winning ways? However, difficulties don’t get much worse, particularly now that Al Qadsiah are purring after Brendan Rodgers, a former manager of Liverpool and Celtic, was appointed. Additionally, Al Nassr have lost their last three encounters with them.
Jorge Jesus’s club have scored 37 goals in just 12 league games, with Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 13 apiece, despite their recent dip.
Ronaldo and his teammates surely will have a challenging assignment against the Knights of the East, who have performed admirably against the home team.
