Al Nassr will look to bounce back from the AFC Champions League heartache when they take on Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League.
A comeback from 3-0 down on aggregate to force a penalty shoot-out against Al Ain was not enough for Cristiano Ronaldo and his team-mates as the Abu Dhabi side prevailed to reach the semifinals.
Al Hilal have an eight-point advantage at the top of the Saudi top flight and defeat for Al Nassr tonight would have Al Ahli just three points behind them in third.
Former Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez and ex-Liverpool favourite Roberto Firmino are among the star names in Matthias Jaissle’s side.
