Saudi Arabia Table toppers AL Nassr will take on AL Batin in the 19th League Fixture

The current Saudi Arabia League toppers AL Nassr will take on the bottom-placed AL Batin on Friday, 03rd March 2023 at 11:00 PM IST in the 19th league game day. The matchup will take place at the Mrsool Park stadium in Riyadh. It will be curious to see how many goals will Cristiano Ronaldo score in this match.

It is worth paying attention to past meetings of the two sides. Last year, the teams met twice, and both times AL-Nassr won with an aggregate score of 8-3. It is worth noting that Al-Nassr has won seven straight matches against the bottom-placed AL-Batin side.

Garcia's side has won a move and has already won three straight clashes with a total score line of 9-1 in the last 3 matches for AL-Nassr. And in each of the performances, the 38-year-old Portuguese star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo became the limelight for the side. First, the striker formalized poker, then he gave two assists, and then scored a hat-trick in the last three games. Thus, the 5-time Balon D'or winner broke into the race for the top scorer in the League, he already has eight goals and stands fourth in the top goal scorer tally. It should be noted that the leader of the standings, his teammate Anderson Talisca, scored 13 goals.

AL Batin, the club is at the bottom of the standings only had six points in the last 18 league games and they won 1 match so far in the Saudi League. The situation is already critical because they still need 13 points to save themselves from the relegation zone. It is worth noting that Logarusic's players have the worst difference in goals scored and lost in the League with 32 goals deficit, and they have lost the most 14 matches in the league so far. Despite this performance, the team managed to delight their fans with a 1-0 win against AL Ettifaq in the last game.

Al-Nassr leads the League currently with 43 points after 18 matches, but the distance from AL Ittihad is only two points, so it is impossible to go wrong with such an opponent in tonight's fixture for them. Such a match is a great opportunity for Ronaldo to formalize another hat trick or poker, for which the team's goals will be. Al-Batin in the last ten away games has only scored three points, so it is unlikely that the side will be able to offer adequate resistance. We believe that García's side will win this match comfortably.

Al Nassr: N. Alaqidi, G. Konan, A. Madu, A. Alamri, S. Al Ghanam, L. Gustavo, A. Al-Khaibari, A. Yahya, S. Al-Najei, A. Ghareeb, C. Ronaldo
