After the international break, the club football is back. Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr is all set to lock horns with Al-Shadab in an away Saudi Pro League 2024-25 match. In their last five games, Al-Nassr are undefeated and will be looking to carry the momentum forward. After the appointment of Stefano Pioli as the new head coach of Al-Nassr the approach of the Saudi Pro League giants has been very different. Where under Luis Castro Al-Nassr's defence was struggling, after Stefano Pioli's appointment Al-Nassr have only conceded two goals in the last five games. Cristiano Ronaldo Is 'Back' in Riyadh Ahead of Al-Shadab vs Al-Nassr Saudi Pro League 2024–25 Match (See Post).

This approach is surely working for Al-Nassr as they eye silverware this season as the last season was not so good for Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. Other than winning a pre-season tournament, Al-Nassr were unable to win any trophy. With a couple of new signings and the appointment of the new head coach, the chances of Al-Nassr winning a trophy over their fierce rivals Al-Hilal are looking promising.
