Al Nassr are up against Al Riyadh in a crucial Saudi Pro League tonight and will be hoping to resurrect their campaign with a positive result.

The Knights of Najd suffered a demoralising defeat at the hands of Al Hilal in the last match, which has now kept them seven point off the top spot in the league table. And as they take on Al Riyadh, it is imperative to get three points and try to keep in touching distance of the league leaders.

Al Nassr have been in decent form all season. Despite their defeat against Al Hilal, they will be content with their performance so far. And Cristiano Ronaldo has been a force for them this season. The Portugal star was key in their Arab Club Champions Cup triumph, and has been in immaculate form so far in the league.

Ronaldo has thus far netted 15 goals in the league and has 7 assists to his name. The Al Nassr captain has scored six goals in his last six matches, but the last two matches have been blank for him.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo play tonight vs Al Riyadh?

Cristiano Ronaldo is certain to start for Al Nassr in the match against Al Riyadh tonight. The Portuguese will be keen to return to goal-scoring form and the Al Riyadh match is a perfect opportunity for him. The 38-year-old didn't play in their AFC Champions League match against FC Istiklol as he was rested to reduce the work load, but is likely to play tonight.
