Al Nassr had a spectacular game after defeating Al Ahli 4-3. The match was very well balanced and it was only Ronaldo’s second goal that secured the win for the knights of Najd.

Al Nassr is facing Ohod Club in the round of 32 of the King Cup. Ohod has sacked its manager after losing 5 and drawing 1 of their last 6 fixtures in Division 1 (second division of the Saudi League). The Medina team currently sits at 16th in Division 1.

It will be a walk around the mill for the Al Nassr team as the Medina-based club has parted ways with their gaffer, Zekirija Ramadani. Their assistant manager will be the caretaker manager for the match against Al Nassr. The Macedonian manager was signed by the club in June 2023.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr are favorites for the game as they travel to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Stadium. Ohod has been poor defensively this season and will look to keep their backline close. The Medina side has scored 4 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 fixtures in Division 1.
