Al Nassr face a Saudi Pro League trip to Al Taawoun on December 30 in their final match of 2023.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s side will head into a six-week break after this clash before returning in mid-February with the AFC Champions League Round of 16. After a run of four straight wins in all competitions and scoring 18 goals, they will be looking to end the year on a similar high.
The league campaign will come to a halt at the halfway point and Al Nassr will be in second place regardless of their result in this match. They are seven points behind unbeaten league leaders Al Hilal, meaning they will have their work cut out for them in the title race during the second half of the season.
