Al Nassr preview: Hoping to start the new year with a win

After losing to Al Ittihad and Al Quadisiya in two of their last three league matches, Al Nassr have fallen to the fourth place in the standings just before Saudi Pro League went on a break. A month later Al Nassr will be hoping to get back to winning and get involved in the title race, which will be difficult since they're currently 11 points behind league leaders Al Ittihad.

Meanwhile, Abdullah Al-Khaibari, Sami Al-Najei, and Ayman Yahya are out with injuries, but the biggest problem for Al Nassr is Cristiano Ronaldo's potential absence due to an abdominal injury, which will likely keep the Portuguese star away from the pitch for this game.

Predicted lineup: Bento (GK), Al Ghanam, Simakan, Laporte, Boushal, Al-Amri, Brozovic, Angelo, Otavio, Mane & Al-Shehri

Al Okhdood preview: Looking to put up a fight against the favoured opponent

With two wins, draws, and losses each in the last six Saudi Pro League rounds, Al Okhdood's form has been wildly inconstant. Still, for a team that has 12 points from 13 games, this wasn't a bad haul at all and it helped Al Okhdood create some separation from the relegation zone, even if it is just four points.

Predicted lineup: Vitor (GK), Khamis, Asiri, Alyami, Ferreira, Pedroza, Al-Muwallad, Petros, Godwin, Bassogog & Kone

Player to watch: Sadio Mane

With Ronaldo slated to miss this match, all eyes will be on Mane as the team's second-biggest start. The Senegalese winger has three goals and five assists in the league this season and he'll be hoping to add more to his tally of goal contributions against Al Okhdood.
