Al-Raed are scheduled to host Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr on Saturday night at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraydah. In the Saudi Pro League 2023-24 standings, Al-Raed are placed 14th in the points table, whereas Al-Nassr are placed sixth.
Al-Raed will be playing their sixth league game of this season. They did not get the start they may have anticipated as they lost all three of their opening fixtures, which were against Al-Ittihad, Abha, and Al-Hilal. However, they bounced back strongly, winning the fourth, against Al-Riyadh. They managed a goalless draw against Al-Fayha in their most recent fixture. After a two-week-long international break, the squad is expected to be recharged for the Al-Nassr challenge.
Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr too started off rough to the season, losing both games, against Al-Ettifaq and Al-Taawoun. But after that defeat, Al-Nassr impressed as they went on to win three consecutive games. The club missed out on a title by the barest margin last season, and they will be eager to repair their mistakes and get their hands on the silverware this time around.
Head-to-head:
- The two clubs have faced each other 35 times so far and Al-Nassr have the upper hand in the matchup by a huge margin.
- Al-Nassr have won 29 of those games, while Al-Raed has managed to win just one game, and five games have ended as draws.
- In the previous fixture between the two sides last season, the match ended in favour of Al-Nassr 4-0 in April.
