Cristiano Ronaldo to Score First
While Al Nassr won their last game in the league and scored three goals in it, Cristiano Ronaldo remained scoreless in that match and that was a huge surprise given that he has eight goals in six games so far.
Clearly, Ronaldo is too good for Saudi Pro League even in these late years of his career and with him failing to score in the last round, we can see him compensating in this one. So, our first Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr prediction is for Cristiano Ronaldo to score the first goal in the game.
Al Nassr to Win
The two top teams in Saudi Pro League will meet in the next round and that could change the look of the table since Al Nassr is currently just two points ahead of Al Ittihad.
So, we do expect a close and exciting game. However, Al Nassr has been in great form recently and they do have Cristiano Ronaldo, so our second Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr prediction is for the guests to notch a win.

More importantly, the team has done as well the entire season so far and they only have one loss in nineteen rounds. Thanks to that, they are currently in second place and just two points behind Al Nassr, their next opponent.

Al Nassr
Just like their upcoming opponent and rival in the title race, Al Nassr also has five wins and one draw in the last six matches in the league and they also lost just once the entire season.

Player to Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo
Although Cristiano Ronaldo didn't do much in the last Al Nassr match, he did prove his worth so far by scoring eight goals and notching two assists in six appearances for the team in Saudi Pro League.
With that in mind, our player to watch in the upcoming derby of the round is Cristiano Ronaldo. Al Nassr will rely on his experience as they try to defend the first place and Al Ittihad will have to find a way to stop Ronaldo in this match, without sacrificing too much.
