Following a resounding 3-1 victory against Istiklol, confidence runs through their veins as they will be looking to continue their winning streak tomorrow against Abha.

Meanwhile, Al Nassr will look to extend their lead in the Saudi Pro League table and lower the gap with league leaders and arch-rivals, Al Hilal.

The pressure of facing a tough team often falls on the shoulders of the weaker side. And when that team includes Cristiano Ronaldo, tension mounts even higher. Tomorrow, Abha will find themselves in a similar situation. While Abha must rely on their practice and the coach’s tactical approach, the bosses of the Saudi club have gone the extra mile.
Apparently, Abha has announced that if they manage to beat Ronaldo’s Al Nassr tomorrow, the entire team will be rewarded with 60,000 riyals or $16,000. This is indeed an interesting incentive from Abha for all its players. Certainly, this will motivate the capital club of Asir province to clinch an emphatic victory against Luis Castro’s side.
