Cristiano Ronaldo is scheduled to start in Al-Nassr’s Saudi Pro League match against Al-Khaleej on Saturday, November 4. The Knights of Najd will enter the game fresh off a 1-0 victory against Al-Ettifaq in the King’s Cup Round of 16.
The game against Al-Ettifaq in the middle of the week went to extra time, with Ronaldo playing the complete 120 minutes. However, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner did not score. Sadio Mane was the game’s sole scoring.
Cristiano Ronaldo has now gone two games in a row without scoring for Al-Nassr. The Portugal captain, on the other hand, should start and spearhead his team’s assault against Al-Khaleej on Saturday evening.
Ronaldo, Mane, Otavio, and Anderson Talisca have given Al-Nassr a steady collection of offensive players. Manager Luis Castro has recently used a 4-2-3-1 configuration. Cristiano Ronaldo leads the attack, with fellow countryman Otavio providing assistance at number 10, while Talisca and Mane are often on the wings.
Ronaldo has performed admirably in his first full season in Saudi Arabia. As of now, the former Manchester United player has 14 goals and eight assists in 15 appearances across all competitions.
In their previous league game, Al-Nassr defeated Al-Fahya 3-1. Ronaldo did not score but did provide an assist on this occasion. His team is presently second in the rankings, with 25 points after 11 games. They trail league leaders Al-Hilal by seven points but have a game in hand.
Al-Khaleej, on the other side, are in 14th position in the league standings, with 10 points from 11 games. They are presently winless in four Saudi Pro League matches.
