Al-Shabab will face off against Al-Nassr in the Matchday 7 of the 2024/2025 Saudi Pro League.
Al Nassr continue their impressive run with three consecutive victories, securing a perfect nine points from their last three matches.
After a shaky start to the season, the team has climbed to third place in the standings with a total of 14 points. They now trail leaders Al Hilal, who sit atop the table with 18 points, maintaining a flawless record.
CR7‘s team determined to close the gap, but they face a challenging matchup against Al-Shabab, who are also vying for a top position with 12 points.
A win against Al-Shabab would not only boost Al Nassr’s quest for the title but also hinder their rivals’ ambitions of catching the leaders.
The Knight of Najd would be hoping to extend their unbeaten run in this fixture to eight matches across all competitions, having won five and drawn two of the previous seven.
Al-Nassr will be protecting another unbeaten run in this fixture, having won four and drawn two of their six league matches so far, the most recent of which was a 3-0 victory over Al Orubah.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his fifth league goal, converting from the spot to give his side the lead, before Sadio Mane grabbed a brace to wrap up the victory for Stefano Pioli’s men.
Pioli, who replaced the sacked Luis Castro on September 18, has won all five matches he has managed across all competitions since taking charge of the team.
Since losing 4-1 to Al Hilal in the Super Cup on August 17, the Knight of Najd have not lost a single match across all competitions, including five away matches, two of which were in the Saudi Pro-League.
