The Saudi Pro League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Al Adalah play host to Cristiano Ronaldo and Rudi Garcia's impressive Al Nassr side in an important clash at the Prince Abdullah Bin Jalawi Stadium on Tuesday.
Al Adalah vs Al Nassr Preview
Al Adalah are currently in 15th place in the Saudi Pro League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by Al Feiha in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side edged Abha to a crucial 2-1 victory last month and will need to be at their best to keep pace with Al Ittihad at the top of the Saudi Pro League table.
