Al Wehda are in extremely disappointing form with a streak of 7 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory in the Saudi Pro League. The last time this team won 3 points was on January 9, 2025. With their current bottom form, Al Wehda is the leading candidate for relegation this season.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr's 9-match unbeaten streak has just been stopped. They lost 2-3 to Al Ettifaq at home. Not only that, Al Nassr also suffered a big loss when Jhon Duran received a red card and will be absent from the match against Al Wehda in round 22. However, this may not be a concern for Al Nassr. Al Wehda is currently the team with the worst defense in the league.
For Cristiano Ronaldo, he had 6 shots in the loss to Al Ettifaq but were blocked by goalkeeper Marek Rodak. The Portuguese superstar had a few good chances but unfortunately missed them.
In particular, Ronaldo clearly showed his anger when he shot the ball into the stands right in front of referee Kirill Levnikov. This is also the second consecutive match CR7 failed to score.
With the top team Al Ittihad behind by 11 points, the chance for Al Nassr to win the championship this season is getting smaller than ever. However, Ronaldo and his teammates will certainly not give up. Only having to face bottom-placed Al Wehda is an opportunity for them to regain their spirit in the upcoming journey.
In the last meeting in September 2024, Al Nassr easily won 2-0 at home, with Ronaldo and Sadio Mane as the goalscorers.
Expected lineup for the Al Wehda - Al Nassr match:
Al Wehda: Al Owayshir, Al Muwallad, Al Hafith, El Yamiq, Al Salem, Cretu, Bacuna, Amyn, Naji, Goodwin, Ighalo.
Al Nassr: Bento, Boushal, Al Fatil, Laporte, Qasheesh, Angelo, Brozovic, Al Hassan, Mane, Otavio, Ronaldo.
The match between Al Wehda and Al Nassr takes place at 23:00 on February 25 (Vietnam time).
