It’s the shock of the 24th day of the Saudi Pro League. Two teams on the podium of the Saudi championship will face each other this Friday, from 8:00 p.m. Al Ahli SC is currently in 3rd place in the rankings. He has also remained in good shape lately. Matthias Jaissle’s team has just taken 7 points in its last 3 days. It remains notably successful on the pitch of Al-Taawon (0-1). Riyad Mahrez’s teammates were able to come back to just 6 lengths behind Al-Nassr, their next opponent in the Saudi Pro League. Long in the race for the coronation, Al-Nassr seems to have given up. Now, he is almost 12 points behind the leader: Al-Hilal. It must be said that Luis Castro’s men have only taken one point in their last two championship matches. After a parity score against Al-Hazem (4-4), they were beaten against Al Raed (1-3). To make matters worse, Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammates have just been knocked out in the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League, against Al-Ain. They fell on penalties last Monday on their lawn. It’s hard to imagine them reassuring themselves against another big name in the Saudi championship.
