Cristiano Ronaldo’s Expected Lineup: Al Hazm vs Al Nassr in Saudi Pro League
Al Nassr aims to maintain its winning momentum in the Saudi Pro League as they prepare to face Al Hazm this Saturday. The match comes as the team sits at the top of the league standings, boasting an impressive record with 15 points from five victories.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Role in the Match
All eyes are on Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not traveled with the team to India for the AFC Champions League Two match against Goa. In that match, Al Nassr secured a narrow 2-1 win, with goals from Angelo Gabriel and Haroune Camara. Head coach Jorge Jesus has decided to manage Ronaldo’s workload, prioritizing his availability for the domestic league.
Al Nassr’s Season Overview
This season marks a significant opportunity for Al Nassr to finally claim the Saudi Pro League title, something they have missed in recent years. Previously, the championship went to Al Ittihad twice and Al Hilal once while Ronaldo has been with the team.
Al Nassr’s current standings are as follows:
| Position | Team | Points | Matches Played |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Al Nassr | 15 | 5 |
| 2 | Al Taawoun | 15 | 6 |
A win against Al Hazm would solidify their position at the top of the table.
Al Hazm’s Challenges
In contrast, Al Hazm has struggled this season, finding themselves in 13th place. Their record consists of one win, two draws, and two losses, resulting in a total of five points. They will be looking to improve their performance against a strong opposition.
