Al Nassr face a major Saudi Pro League title test on December 26 as Cristiano Ronaldo’s side head to defending champions Al Ittihad.
Al Ittihad look certain to lose out in their title defence this season but Ronaldo’s team are aiming to close the title gap on current leaders Al Hilal.
A 3-1 win over Al Ettifaq last time out has further boosted confidence of an Al Nassr title push in 2024 with Ronaldo netting his 17th league goal of the campaign.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
