Cristiano Ronaldo is set to feature in another Saudi Pro League match this week as Rudi Garcia's Al Nassr lock horns with Al Taawoun in an important clash at the King Saud University Stadium on Friday. Both teams have been fairly impressive so far this season and will want to win this game.
Al Nassr vs Al Taawoun Preview
Al Taawoun are currently in fifth place in the Saudi Pro League standings and have stepped up to the plate admirably over the course of their league campaign. The away side slumped to a disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Al Fateh last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form in recent months. Cristiano Ronaldo inspired the hosts to a stunning 4-0 victory against Al Wehda in his previous game and will look to add to his goal tally in the Saudi Pro League.
