Cristiano Ronaldo Confirmed to Start for Al-Nassr Against Al-Ittihad

Cristiano Ronaldo is confirmed to start for Al-Nassr as they face Al-Ittihad in a key Saudi Pro League match on Saturday at Alinma Stadium in Jeddah. Al-Nassr, the defending champions, have won all four of their matches this season, while Al-Ittihad remains unbeaten, making this clash highly anticipated.

Al-Nassr has achieved a perfect record so far, scoring 12 goals and conceding only three. Their victories include a 3-0 win over Al-Fateh and a comeback 3-2 win against Al-Ettifaq. In contrast, Al-Ittihad has earned eight points from four games, with a mix of wins and draws, and has struggled offensively, scoring just five goals despite creating numerous chances.

Ronaldo has already netted two goals this season, with his latest being a crucial strike in a 2-1 win against Al-Taawoun. His history against Al-Ittihad is notable, having scored six goals in his last six encounters with them. The confirmed lineups show Al-Nassr deploying a 4-3-3 formation, featuring Ronaldo alongside Joao Felix and other key players.
