The Saudi Pro League is back in action with another round of matches this week. Al Tai play host to Cristiano Ronaldo and Rudi Garcia's Al Nassr side in an important clash at the Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium on Tuesday.
Al Tai vs Al Nassr Preview
Al Tai are currently in seventh place in the Saudi Pro League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The hosts suffered a damaging 4-3 defeat at the hands of Al Batin in their previous game and will need to work hard to bounce back this week.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best in recent weeks. The away side was held to a 1-1 draw by Al Khaleej last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
