With their grip on a top-three finish slipping, Al-Nassr hit the road on Monday night to face relegation-threatened Al Akhdood in Round 31 of the Saudi Pro League, desperate to arrest their recent slump and keep their continental dreams alive.
Al Akhdood, still sitting in the bottom three, saw their mini-resurgence halted last weekend after a costly 2-1 home defeat to fellow relegation rivals Al Wehda at Prince Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium. While they've shown flashes of fight, survival remains a steep hill to climb.
They now host an Al-Nassr side reeling from a rollercoaster week, first knocked out of the AFC Champions League by Kawasaki Frontale, then blowing a 2-0 lead to fall 3-2 to Al Ittihad in league play. The pressure’s on Cristiano Ronaldo and company to snap the slide and keep their top-four hopes intact.
Despite their shortcomings, Al Okhdood aren’t expected to go down without a scrap, especially against one of the league's powerhouse clubs.
