Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro League season has been disappointing. They have a maximum of 70 points—12 fewer than last year. They crushed Al Okhdood 9-0 last Monday but drew with Al Taawoun without the ill Cristiano Ronaldo, slipping to third and missing out on next season's AFC Champions League Elite.

Al-Nassr x Al Khaleej Team News

Illness has kept Cristiano Ronaldo out of the past two games for Al-Nassr, and he is still questionable for this encounter. Ronaldo has been linked with a transfer to rivals Al-Hilal for the remainder of the season.

If the Portuguese superstar is out with an injury this week, Al-Alami's starting lineup will consist of Jhon Duran, Sadio Mane, Ayman Yahya, and Otavio at the number 10 position.

Due to injuries, Al Khaleej will be without goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic and starting center defender Marcel Tisserand for the rest of the season. Neither player will be able to play in this match.

Last week, Fortounis scored twice, bringing his season total of 12 goals to 29. However, he received his fourth yellow card in that encounter and would miss the season finale if cautioned again this week.
