Al Nassr visit the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium on Friday to face Damac in the Saudi Pro League, looking to extend their winning run in the competition to four games.
The Knights of Najd are on a roll right now. After seeing off Al Ahli and Al Tai 1-0 and 5-1 respectively, the side are fresh off a stunning 8-0 shellacking of Abha in the league.
Prolific forward Cristiano Ronaldo netted a hat-trick, and Abdulaziz Al-Aliwa scored twice, whereas Sadio Mane, Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem and Abdulrahman Ghareeb all scored apiece as Al Nasser recorded their biggest-ever win in the Saudi Pro League.
Now, with 62 points from 26 games, Luis Castro's side are in second position in the top-flight standings, eight points behind leaders Al Hilal with only eight games remaining.
On the other hand, Damac are languishing in eighth position without a win in their last three league games. After consecutive losses to Al Hilal and Al Khaleej, Cosmin Contra's side drew 0-0 with Al Hazm.
