Contents
Cristiano Ronaldo to Score Anytime
While Ronaldo “only” scored once in his first two games in Saudi Arabian Professional League, we saw all of his talent on display in the third match for Al Nassr in the last round against Al Wehda.
In that game, Ronaldo score all four goals for his team to secure a win that keeps Al Nassr in good spot in the title race. So, after that performance, we expect to see Ronaldo score in the upcoming duel with Al Taawoun too.
Al Nassr to Win and Lead at Half Time
While Al Nassr is currently second in the standings behind Al Shabab by three points, they are also two games behind, so if they win both of those games, they can take first place again.
With that in mind, the duel with Al Taawoun is very important for them, but Al Taawoun won't give in lightly as they are also trying to catch the last train to a Top 3 finish. Still, with Al Nassr hosting the match and led by Ronaldo, we expect a win for them after they also lead at half time.
