The season hasn’t gone as planned for Cristiano Ronaldo and his men. With Al Nassr now dumped out of the AFC Champions League, the team’s chances of lifting a major silverware this season might have gone up in smoke. However, things can change at any moment when it comes to soccer and thus Al Nassr will look to bring their focus to the remaining games in the Saudi Pro League as Luis Castro‘s men look to chase Al Hilal at the top of the league standings.

However, the team faces an uphill climb. The side seems to have lost their edge as of late, with Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates failing to bag a win in their last four outings. To add more to their woes, the side is up against third-placed Al Ahli in their upcoming encounter. Al Hali, after a slow start to their campaign, seems to have found momentum and has been unbeaten in their last three outings and are just six points behind Al Nassr in the league standings.

Al Ahli vs Al Nassr: Prediction

Facing Al Ahli in its current form seems nothing more than a daunting task for Al Nassr. Luis Castro’s side hasn’t been at their best for a while now and has shown many flaws in their past four games. Al Nassr’s defense has also been in shambles, with the team conceding over 10 goals in the past four fixtures. In contrast, Al Ahli has a great job functioning as a unit, with their attackers and midfielders firing on all cylinders. With all factors considered, the night against Al Ahli could turn out to be a tough pill to swallow for Cristiano Ronaldo.
