Third-placed Al-Nassr would be vying to bridge the gap between themselves and the two sides above them as they face 10th placed Damak in the Saudi Pro League.
Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr have had a scintillating start to their campaign with six wins and one draw. The two losses might have put them in the second-spot but the Saudi heavyweights have been in fine nick off late and could reach the pinnacle of the table. The joint-highest scorers of the league will once again bank on their forward battery to smash goals for them as they'll look to brush past Damak on Saturday.
Entering the contest on the back of three successive wins, Damak have all the arsenal to produce an upset against a high-flying Al Nassr side. Damak held league leaders Al-Hilal to a 1-1 draw and also secured a massive 4-1 victory against Al-Hazm to boost their confidence before the clash.
