A massive game in the hunt for the Saudi Pro League title awaits this week with two title contenders Al Nassr and Al Ittihad locking horns in a spirited affair. Cristiano Ronaldo's team Al Nassr will have a strong chance to boost their lead at the top when they visit the arch-rivals. Al Nassr currently holds only two points lead over Al Ittihad after 19 games and this gameweek could be decisive for both sides.
The Saudi Pro League's game between Al-Ittihad and Al-Saudi Nassr will be broadcasted live in India on Sony Liv, Jio TV, and Airtel Xtream. It will be aired live on Sony Ten 2 TV channel. The fixture is set to take place on 9th March 2023 at 11.00 PM (IST).
Al Ittihad will come into the game unbeaten in the last ten matches under the management of former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo. This run also includes seven clean sheets. In the very last game, they returned to winning ways with a 3-0 victory over Al Khaleej after a goalless draw against Al Raed last month.
Cristiano Ronaldo's team, on the other hand, have recorded four wins on a trot and are in red-hot form. They defeated rock-bottom Al Batin 3-1 at home in the last game.
The two Saudi Giants met last in the Super Cup semi-final when Al Ittihad registered a spirited 3-1 win to force them out of the cup.

The former Real Madrid and Manchester United legend did not score in the last game, however, the 38-year-old looks to be on impressive form lately. After an initial adaptation in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo is looking at his best again. He has already registered eight goals and two assists in the league in just six games. Considering his rich form Al Nassr will surely depend a lot on him in the upcoming game.
