Al Nassr resume their pre-season tour with another massive fixture against a European giant this week as they lock horns with Christophe Galtier's PSG side in an intriguing fixture at the Nagai Stadium on Tuesday.
PSG vs Al Nassr Preview
PSG won the Ligue 1 title in emphatic fashion last season and have an excellent squad at their disposal. The Parisian giants eased past Le Havre by a 2-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, secured a second-place finish in the Saudi Pro League last season and have not been at their best in recent months. The Saudi Arabian side suffered a damaging 4-1 defeat at the hands of Benfica last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
