Match Preview
Damac is looking for a win after three games without a win. At home, Faris Al-Janub – nicknamed the club Damac FC – has three wins, four draws and one defeat in eight Saudi League matches this season.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr managed to pick up 17 points from the 24 available in their away matches this season. Al-Nassr is currently on an unbeaten record of seven away matches. The last time they lost an away game was in September 2022 against Al Taawon.
The two teams are currently on different paths. Al Nassr is unbeaten in its last 15 matches and is second in the latest standings of the Saudi Pro League from 17 matches. With 40 points, Al-Aalami – the nickname of the club Al-Nassr FC – is 18 points away from the home team.
In their last Saudi League match, Al Nassr managed a 2-1 win over Al Taawon at home and extended their unbeaten run to 15. Meanwhile, Damac is in seventh place with 22 points, having scored 21 goals and conceded 19 goals.
With 13 matches remaining, Damac will certainly find it difficult to catch the visitors in the race for a place in the AFC Champions League. In their last Saudi League game against Al Khaleej at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium, Damac lost 2-0 and extended their winless streak to three.
In their last meeting, Al Nassr won 2-1 against Damac at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in September. Sami Al Naji opened the scoring for Al-Nassr in the 37th minute, and Talisca also scored. While Damac’s only goal was scored by Bruno Duarte in the 82nd minute.
Two players who are mainstays for Damac this season are Hilal Soudani and Duarte. Soudani was the club’s top scorer with five goals, three of which were the opening goals of the game. Meanwhile, Duarte has also been quite impressive with the four goals he has scored.
Al Nassr have been victorious in their last three meetings with Damac, which started back in August 2021, and managed to score eight goals and concede two during their winning streak.
Talisca has been the most prolific player for Al Nassr by scoring 13 goals, and currently tops the 2022/2023 Saudi League scorers’ standings, while newcomer Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 5 goals since joining the lineup in January 2023.

Team News
When Al Nassr takes on Damac, football fans will surely witness an exciting encounter between Cristiano Ronaldo and an old rival who used to know him well in the Spanish League when he was still playing for Real Madrid. That rival is José Antonio Delgado Villar, or who is more familiarly called Nono.
Previously, Nono also played in La Liga for several years before finally joining Damac in 2022. His position as a midfielder often saw him involved in some intense matches against CR7 when he was with Real Betis and Elche.
However, even though he has experience in the world of football, Nono has not been able to make a maximum contribution to his team. In the ten matches he played with Damac in the 2022/2023 Saudi Pro League, Nono has only managed to score one goal and one assist.
Who between Nono or Cristiano Ronaldo will be the star in the match later? Come on, don’t miss to watch this exciting match!
