Cristiano Ronaldo will be in action as Al-Nassr are set to take on Abha at King Saud University Stadium in a King Cup of Champions fixture on Tuesday.
The Portugal forward was furious after his side went down to Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League, and was seen kicking a water bottle amid Lionel Messi taunts. They beat Al-Adalah 2-0 in the Round of 16 to seal a quarter-final berth and will hope to return to winning ways on Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, Abha, got the better of Al-Taawoun in the previous round to progress in the cup competition. However, they are going through a rough patch of form as they last won a match over a month ago against Al Khaleej in the domestic league. Since then they have lost four and drawn one.
