The Saudi Pro League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Al Ettifaq lock horns with Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr outfit in an important clash at the King Saud University Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have experienced contrasting fortunes so far this season and will want to win this game.
Al Nassr vs Al Ettifaq Preview
Al Ettifaq are currently in 10th place in the Saudi Pro League standings and have been plagued by inconsistency so far this season. The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Al Fateh last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
