Al Nassr preview: Hoping to get involved in the title race
At the moment, Al Nassr are eight points behind their next opponent Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro Standings, so they need a win on Friday if they are to be serious contenders for the title. Al Nassr have been a bit inconsistent lately though, with three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six games in the league.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Simakan is out with an injury, while Sami Al-Najei is doubtful.
Predicted lineup: Bento (GK), Al-Ghannam, Lajami, Laporte, Boushal, Brozovic, Alkhaibari, Angelo, Otavio, Mane & Ronaldo
