Al Nassr begins the year by visiting Al Ahli at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, at 9:30 a.m. PT, 12:00 p.m. ET, for Matchday 12 of the Saudi Pro League.

Cristiano Ronaldo's team arrives for this match as the leader in the league standings with 31 points after 11 games, and a record of 10 wins, one draw, and zero losses. The team coached by Jorge Jesus remains undefeated.

On the other hand, Al Ahli is currently in fourth place in the league with 22 points after 11 matches, and a record of six wins, four draws, and one loss.

Al Nassr drew its last match 2-2 against Al Ettifaq, ending its perfect streak of only victories. In contrast, the home team arrives in good spirits, having defeated Al Feiha 2-0 on Dec. 30.

This would generally be one of the most anticipated matches of the season, as it features two of the league's best teams. However, both squads are missing key players, either due to injury or the Africa Cup of Nations.

Players such as Edouard Mendy, Franck Kessie, Riyad Mahrez (Al Ahli), and Sadio Mane (Al Nassr) are out for this match.
