Al-Nassr vs Al-Taawoun: Line-ups confirmed as Ronaldo looks to lead charge towards top

Al-Nassr return to action on Monday night as they look to stay within touching distance of the top spots in the Saudi Pro League.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s side led the standings during the first half of the campaign, but fell away after the winter break following a tricky run.

However, the Portuguese icon’s side still have a shot at the title, but they cannot afford any more slip-ups.

That makes this home clash against Al-Taawoun a must-win match.
