Al Nassr Set to Face Al Shabab in Saudi Pro League Showdown: Preview and Predicted Lineups

Al Nassr will face Al Shabab in a crucial Saudi Pro League clash on February 25. With a nine-game unbeaten streak, Al Nassr will look to extend their run of good form. Cristiano Ronaldo has been instrumental in their three recent victories, propelling them in the league standings and the AFC Champions League quarterfinals.

On the flip side, Al Shabab had a strong start to the season but has struggled in recent matches, winning only four of their last 11 games. Their recent 1-0 away win against Damak, courtesy of a debut goal by Ivan Rakitic, could be a confidence booster for the team.

The anticipated lineups for the match are as follows:

Al Shabab: Al Absi (GK) — Al-Sharari, Santos, Saiss — Bahbri, Cuellar, Rakitic, Al-Harbi — Vitinho, Diallo, Carrasco.

Al Nassr: Al-Najjar (GK) — Al Ghanam, Alamri, Laporte, Behich — Al Khaibari, Brozovic — Boushal, Otavio, Mane — Ronaldo.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. local time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with global kick-off times varying across different regions. Fans can catch the action on various TV channels and streaming platforms, depending on their location.

Despite a quick turnaround with two games in close succession, Ronaldo is expected to feature for Al Nassr. Both teams will be aiming for a positive result in this highly anticipated encounter. It will be interesting to see how the match unfolds and if Al Nassr can maintain their impressive winning streak.
