Al Nassr will go up against their city rivals Al Riyadh in a must-win clash to keep their title aspirations alive.
The Cristiano Ronaldo-equipped side will want to continue their winning momentum coming into this fixture. The Sun Fans took Al Ain to the floor in their last outing with a statement 5-1 win.
They are currently placed third on the Saudi Pro League table and will want nothing less than a win to reduce the gap with the league leaders.
Al Riyadh on the other hand have given a much better account of themselves this season. They finished in the bottom half of the table last season, but find themselves in sixth position this time around.
They have picked up three wins in their last five outings in the Saudi Pro League. Al Riyadh might go for a conservational approach and take advantage on the counterattacks and set pieces.
Anderson Talisca has been the man in form for Al Nassr this season. The Brazilian midfielder has exceeded all expectations and has established himself as one of the most crucial and influential players for his side.
Talisca has a towering presence and is known for his aerial and goal-scoring abilities. He has found the back of the net eight times this season, including a brace in the last game.
