Al-Nassr will look to claim a seventh consecutive victory when they play host to Al-Wehda in gameweek 30 of the Saudi Pro League on Saturday night.
Luis Castro's side have been generally in excellent form throughout the campaign, led by the talismanic figure of skipper Cristiano Ronaldo, but they are set to miss out on the Saudi Pro League title to rivals Al-Hilal, who are nine points clear at the top with a game in hand.
The Knights of Najd fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat to Al-Khaleej last weekend before claiming a 3-1 victory against the same opposition in the semi-finals of the King Cup of Champions in midweek.
They have enjoyed six straight victories in the Saudi top-flight. They face the challenge of an Al Wehda side that have slightly improved over the last month or so, but they remain stuck in the bottom-half of the table.
