The Saudi Pro League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Al Raed lock horns with Cristiano Ronaldo and Rudi Garcia's Al Nassr side in an important encounter at the KSU Stadium on Thursday.
Al Nassr vs Al Raed Preview
Al Nassr are currently in second place in the Saudi Pro League standings and have not been at their best in recent weeks. The hosts crashed out of the King Cup of Champions after a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Al Wehda in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
Al Raed are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have been plagued by inconsistency over the course of their campaign. The away side slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Al Fateh earlier this month and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
