A High-Stakes Contest Lined Up In Riyadh
The Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh would be buzzing both with excitement and apprehension as Al-Nassr host Al-Ahli, the AFC Champions League Elite Champions, at their home ground in a high-stakes, Roshn Saudi League duel tonight.
Al-Nassr Riding A Relentless Winning Wave
Al-Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and coached by Jorge Jesus, are riding a breathtaking wave of 19 consecutive wins in all competitions. A record already, but the Title remains. The question, therefore, is whether the Knights of Najd, in yellow and black, can win their first Saudi League title with Cristiano Ronaldo?.
The Outcome Tonight Is Crucial In The Titie Race
The answer lies to a large extent in the outcome of the contest tonight. A win for Al-Nassr will be a resounding step towards the title, but a loss would propel Al-Hilal right back into an already close title race.
A Fresh Al-Nassr Against A Tired Al-Ahli
Al-Nassr are fresh with some well-deserved rest, while Al-Ahli, who would be on a high emotionally, must be having tired legs after a gruelling AFC CL Elite competition. A high-octane contest might further drain out Al-Ahli players, which no wonder, would benefit Al-Nassr.
Team Strengths
Ivan Toney remains Al-Ahli’s trump card, with Riyad Mahrez not to be taken lightly. For Al-Nassr, Ronaldo, Joao Felix, Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman form an extremely potent quartet which has the skill and temperament to dislodge any team coming to play at the Al-Awwal Park. Al-Ahli, however, can play the spoiler. Al-Nassr have to be wary of this threat.
What To Expect
It is Al-Nassr’s game to lose, which they can ill-afford.
