Al-Nassr will be looking to register back-to-back wins in the Saudi Pro League for the first time this season when they play host to Al-Shabab at Al-Awwal Park on Tuesday.
After winning the Arab Club Champions Cup, Luis Castro's men kicked off their league campaign with a couple of defeats. However, Cristiano Ronaldo and co. have since bounced back - booking a place in the AFC Champions League group stage by beating Shabab Al-Ahli of UAE, 4-2, before a 5-0 victory over Al-Fateh in the Saudi League.
While Al-Nassr are a long way from last season's champions and current leaders Al-Ittihad, Al-Shabab have their own struggles to overcome as Marcel Keizer's side will be avoid to extend their overall unbeaten run to five game following a 1-1 draw with Damac.
