Al Nassr Team News & Predicted Lineup

Al Nassr have been handed a significant boost ahead of this contest, with Sadio Mané returning to the squad after playing a key role in Senegal’s Africa Cup of Nations triumph in Morocco.

The experienced winger could be reinstated straight into the starting XI, a move that may see Abdulrahman Ghareeb drop to the substitutes’ bench despite getting on the scoresheet in the previous outing.

There are still some concerns in midfield, however. Sami Al-Najei remains a major doubt as he continues his recovery from a long-term injury sustained back in September, while Saad Haqawi is also struggling with a fitness issue. The latter’s potential absence is unlikely to have a major impact, given his limited involvement so far this season.

Up front, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to captain the side once again and lead the attack alongside João Félix, as Al Nassr aim to keep pace in the title race.

Ronaldo currently sits top of the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot standings with 16 goals, holding a narrow advantage over Félix, Joshua King and Julián Quiñones.

Al Taawoun Team News & Predicted Lineup

Al Taawoun will be without Flávio, who has been ruled out after suffering a hamstring tear. The midfielder is expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks.

There are also doubts over the availability of winger Musa Barrow, who continues to recover from a torn lateral knee ligament and will be assessed closer to kick-off.

In attack, Martínez is set to retain his place after an impressive brace in the previous match, while Achraf El Mahdioui and Angelo Fulgini should once again provide stability and creativity in central midfield.
