How to Watch Al-Nassr vs. Al-Raed: Stream Saudi Pro League Live, TV Channel
Cristiano Ronaldo should make his return to Al-Nassr’s lineup for Thursday’s Saudi Pro League encounter with Al-Raed as the Riyadh host looks to close ranks on runaway leader Al-Hilal at the top of the table. Ronaldo, 39, recently served a one-match suspension for making obscene gestures towards rival supporters in Al-Nassr’s 3-2 win at Al-Shabab, sitting out the 4-4 draw against Al-Hazm. The five-time Ballon d’Or-winner was back in the starting XI for Monday’s AFC Champions League loss away to Al-Ain and will make a welcome comeback in the league as the Knights of Najd look to close distance at the table summit.

Luis Castro’s side currently trail Al-Hilal by nine points and are significantly worse off in regards to their goal difference, with time running out for the team to make a charge on the top prize.
Thankfully for Al-Nassr, the club is undefeated in its last 16 meetings with this particular opponent and has emerged the victor in 15 of those in a streak that dates back as far as April 2016.
Continuing that run of results could spell terrible news for Al-Raed, who sits on the verge of the relegation zone and could be plunged into the bottom three unless it can stop the rut in Riyadh.
While Ronaldo’s return spells positive news for Thursday’s host, Al-Nassr is missing another of its key attackers in Anderson Talisca, who is expected to miss around seven weeks due to injury.
Center-back America Laporte is also still suspended for the home side at present, meaning Marcelo Brozovic should be brought back into the fold in a defensive role.
Al-Raed is winless in three and has lost two of those fixtures, but the looming threat of relegation could provide the necessary drive to earn a surprise result in the royal city.
Regional restrictions may apply.
