Al Nassr will take on Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League at the KSU Stadium on Friday. Both teams will be looking to climb up the league table as they are currently fifth and sixth respectively.
After losing their first two league games of the season, Cristiano Ronaldo and co. have won four games in a row and will be looking to reduce the deficit to the top of the table which now stands at five points.
Al Ahli's campaign has been impressive. The newly-promoted team has won all games bar one so far in the league. Their most recent outing ended in a thrilling 3-2 win over Al Taawon and the team will be confident of pulling off a shock result away from home.
