Having foiled their opportunity to move closer to the top last weekend, Al-Nassr will be looking to return to winning ways when they welcome Al-Riyadh to Al-Awwal Park in a Saudi Pro League tie on Friday.
Al-Nassr missed Cristiano Ronaldo as a shocking error cost them two points in their AFC Champions League match against Istikol in the mid-week, before which the Knights of Najd suffered a 3-0 league loss at the hands of leaders Al-Hilal.
Meanwhile, Al-Riyadh are just three points clear of the relegation zone following a goalless draw against Al-Hazm.
