Contents
Cristiano Ronaldo to Score First
Since Al Nassr desperately needs this win and they will likely score multiple goals in order to get it, there is little doubt about who will get some of the goals for the team.
Crisitiano Ronaldo is the team's top scorer despite only playing in twelve games, during which he scored as many goals. So, our first Al Nassr vs Al Khaleej prediction is for Ronaldo to score the first goal.
Al Nassr to Win and Lead at Half Time
After a poor run of form, Al Nassr finally had a convincing game and win in the last round when they beat Al Raed 4-0, in a match that kept the team in the title race thanks to Al Ittihad losing their game.
That being said, Al Nassr is still trailing in title race by three points and they need to keep winning, which is why our second Al Nassr vs Al Khaleej prediction is for the home team to win and lead at half time.

Al Nassr – Al Khaleej Preview – Latest Form, Team News, and Potential Lineups
Now we will take a closer look at both teams before they meet, including the probable Al Nassr vs Al Khaleej lineups.
Al Nassr
After failing to win in the previous two rounds, in which they only drew with Al Feiha and lost to Al Hilal, also without scoring a goal, Al Nassr managed to do much better in the last round against Al Raed since they beat them 4-0. On top of that, Al Ittihad lost their match in the last round, so now Al Nassr is just three points behind them in the title race, with five games left in the season.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr will again be without their starting goalkeeper David Ospina, who he is out for the season.
Al Nassr Predicted Lineup:
Al Aqidi – Konan, Madu, Gonzalez, Al Amri, Al Ghanam – Ghareeb, Al Sulaiheem, Gustavo, Talisca – Ronaldo
Al Khaleej
After losing three games in a row, Al Khaleej managed to get a couple of wins in a row two in their last two matches in Saudi Pro League, thanks to which they've kept hopes of staying up alive. At the moment, Al Khaleej is the first team in the relegation zone, but they are tied in points with Al Wahda and two points behind Al Feiha. So, if they can overtake one of them, they could be playing in top flight next season too.
When it comes to team news, Pablo will miss this match after being sent off in the last round.
Al Khaleej Predicted Lineup:
Al Haidari – Amaral, Anthony, Al Khabrani, Al Oudah – Lucas, Al Samiri – Martins, Poko, Morato – Cikalleshi
Starting Lineups
Teams usually release their starting lineups one hour before the kickoff.
Player to Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo
There is no doubt about who is the player to watch in this match since Cristiano Ronaldo is a part of it and whenever Ronaldo plays, all eyes are on him, especially in Saudi Pro League.
Since he got to Al Nassr, Ronaldo scored twelve goals in the league in the same number of games and added two assists as well, so Al Khaleej will have to fight hard to stop the Portuguese in this game.
