Al Taee hope to get back to winning ways after first beating Abha by 1-0, before winning 2-1 against Al Feiha. The streak ended in a recent 4-3 defeat against Al Batin. The Knight of The North won half of its previous six matches on home soil in the Saudi Pro League, while also drawing one. The club suffered two defeats while scoring eight and conceding seven goals.
In their last three matches, Al Nassr FC lost 2-0 against Al Hilal, won 4-0 against Al-Raed, and drew 1-1 with Al Khaleej.

Players to watch: Al Taee vs Al Nassr FC
Al Taee against Al Nassr FC is also a battle between Amir Sayoud and Cristiano Ronaldo. Both players are in decent form. They have four goals from their last six games, with Sayoud scoring once in each of Al Taee’s past four outings.
Can Ronaldo get back on the scoresheet?
The goals have dried up lately for Cristiano Ronaldo. The striker has gone goalless in three of Al Nassr’s last four games. But to be fair, he did have a goal ruled out in last week’s 1-1 home draw against Al Khaleej.
Nevertheless, with Al Nassr’s title hopes hanging in the balance, Ronaldo will be determined to improve his 12-goal tally to help his team grab a vital victory.
