Will Cristiano Ronaldo Play Tonight in the Abha vs Al-Nassr Saudi Pro League 2023-24 Match?

The offensive engine of Al-Nassr's side, Cristiano Ronaldo is already leading the league in both goals scored and assists made this season. A strong response from the Knights of Najd showcased their desire to keep pressure on Al-Hilal for the league title. Although the Abha team is struggling in the league with just six wins from 25 matches, Al-Nassr dropped two crucial points earlier this season. Both sides ended the game 2-2 on October 6. With that in mind, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start for Al-Nassr in the crucial encounter of the season.
