Al-Nassr will square off against Al-Taawoun on Friday night at the KSU Stadium in the Saudi Pro League 2023-24. Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr look like a formidable side going into the new season. They have the squad from last season when they missed out on the title by bare margins. In their season opener though, they had to face defeat against Al Ettifaq despite Sadio Mane’s goal in the fourth minute. Al-Nassr were missing their star, Cristiano Ronaldo, and that clearly reflected in the scorecard of the match.
It is still unknown whether Ronaldo will be available in the Al-Taawoun game, but his presence will be a huge addition to the team. Al-Taawoun, on the other hand, drew their first game, which was against Al Fateh on Sunday. Taawoun conceded a goal in the 24th minute but came back strongly with an equalizer in the additional time of the first half. With no goals being scored by either team in the second half, the match had to end as a 1-1 draw.
Head-to-head:
- The two clubs have faced each other 31 times till now and Al-Nassr have completely dominated the matchup winning 22 of those games.
- Al-Taawoun have managed to win just five games while four games ended in a draw.
- In their previous fixture between the two sides in the previous season, the match ended in a 2-1 win for Al-Nassr at Al-Awwal Park in February.
