Al-Nassr can extend their lead at the top of the Saudi Pro League to four points ahead of Al-Hilal when Cristiano Ronaldo’s side host Al-Khaleej on Sunday.
Jorge Jesus’s side have won all of their first eight league games, with five-time Champions League winner Ronaldo and Portugal teammate Joao Felix among their scorers in a 3-1 victory at NEOM on November 8.
Ronaldo had an international break to forget, receiving a straight red card in the Selecao’s defeat in Ireland that ruled the captain out of the 9-1 home win over Armenia to seal his country’s place at the 2026 World Cup.
