Al Nassr received 2 bad news immediately before being Al Fahte’s guest.
Al Nassr with the presence of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has just experienced an emotional match with Shabab Al Ahli of Qatar in the AFC Champions League a few days ago. They also just identified their opponents in the group stage after the draw took place yesterday (August 24).

Ronaldo and his teammates have moved to the venue in the third round of Saudi Pro League

The positive signals from the top division for the Asian club level will hopefully be the leverage to help Al Nassr win the first 3 points in the Saudi Pro League. After the first two rounds, Ronaldo and his teammates still have not got any points and are ranked 16th out of 18 participating teams.

The good news is that two rookies of Al Nassr, center back Aymeric Laporte and attacking midfielder Otavio, have arrived to be ready to play. Laporte is expected to significantly solve Al Nassr’s defensive problem for 4 consecutive matches without keeping a clean sheet.

However, Al Nassr also received two bad news when defensive midfielder Seko Fofana and attacking midfielder Talisca were injured, so they will miss the next 3-4 matches. It is likely that coach Castro will be forced to push Brozovic back to Fofana’s position while rookie Otavio will replace Talisca.

However, Al Nassr is still more appreciated than the home team Al Fateh, this team is not heavily invested with the force of 2 notable players, Cristian Tello, former Barcelona player and Jason Denayer, The Belgian international has played for Man City and Lyon.

Al Nassr’s chance to win all 3 points is high and the team expects Ronaldo to “open an account” of goals in the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese superstar is still without a goal in the league and with many stars having gone to Saudi Arabia to play football this summer, Ronaldo and Al Nassr’s chances of winning the title are not as big as last season.
