Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr return to Saudi Pro League action looking to keep their slim title hopes alive.
Luis Castro’s side return from the international break needing to regain a 12-point lead over unbeaten league leaders Al Hilal, who are on an astonishing run of 28 consecutive wins in all competitions.
While closing the gap on the runaway leaders seems a tall order, Castro desperately needs some positive results, and Al Nassr’s exit from the AFC Champions League puts his position under further scrutiny.
Riyadh’s visitors on Saturday are Al Tai, who are struggling near the bottom of the table and have won just six of their 24 league games all season.
