The Saudi Pro League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Al Wehda play host to Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr in an important clash on Thursday.
Al Wehda vs Al Nassr Preview
Al Wehda are currently in 13th place in the Saudi Pro League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The hosts slumped to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of Al Feiha in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have experienced a slight slump in recent weeks. The away side played out a 2-2 draw against Al Fateh last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
