Al Nassr face a crucial Saudi Pro League clash on October 6 as Cristiano Ronaldo's team host Abha in Riyadh.
Ronaldo was on target in midweek action as Al Nassr secured a 3-1 AFC Champions League victory over Tajikistan side FC Istiklol in the Saudi Arabian capital. Anderson Talisca also bagged a brace in that victory.
Al Nassr head into this game on the back of a six-game winning streak in league action and victory against Abha will close the gap on league leaders Al Hilal.
