Two sides at opposite ends of the Saudi Pro League table will meet this Thursday, with runners-up Al-Nassr taking on Al-Hazem at King Saud University on Thursday.
The hosts maintained pressure on leaders Al-Hilal over the weekend, securing a hard-fought 3-2 victory over a resilient Al-Shabab side, with Cristiano Ronaldo breaking the deadlock from the penalty spot before Talisca netted twice in the second half to help his side to an important three points.
Sitting in second place in the league standings with 52 points after 21 games, Al Alami will look to keep up their fine run of form against a beleaguered Al-Hazem side, who are languishing at the foot of the table with just 14 points to their name all season long.
