Al Riyadh vs Al Nasr. Will Ronaldo continue to score goals?
On Thursday, May 23, at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, a match between the teams Al-Riyadh and Al-Nasr will take place as part of the 33rd round of the Saudi Arabian Championship.
The charges of Brazilian coach Odair Ellmann have shown good results in recent weeks, and have already gained points in four rounds in a row. During this period they even managed to beat Al-Ahly (2:1), and this is the bronze medalist of the current season.
True, Al-Riyadh has still not been able to guarantee that it will retain its residence permit in the elite Saudi division. The team from Riyadh, which is in relegated 16th position, is only 2 points ahead of Al-Okhdud, and in the two remaining rounds, of course, it is quite possible to win back this handicap. In addition, Ohdud is not the only one who can get ahead of Ellmann's charges - Abha and Al-Tai, who are in 15th place and second to Al-Riyadh only in terms of additional indicators, are also two points behind them, located in the penultimate line.
The team has to fight for survival against the backdrop of noticeable personnel problems. In the hospital are Romanian defender Alin Tosca, Zimbabwean winger Knowledge Musona and Saudi center Saleh Al-Abbas. The loss of the last two is a strong blow to the team’s attack, which is already not very effective. After all, Musona and Al-Abbas scored 12 of Al-Riyadh's 19 goals in the championship this season.
Al Nasr
The team of Cristiano Ronaldo and his compatriot, head coach Luis Castro, is no longer fighting for anything in this championship. It is no longer possible to catch up with the new champion Al-Hilal, and Al-Ahli, which is in third, will no longer be able to catch up with Al-Nasr itself. It turns out there is no motivation. Except for each player individually.
For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, in theory, may want to update his already outstanding record of goals scored in the current championship - 33 goals with two rounds to go. And in general, Al-Nasr, as one of the options for goals for the rest of the season (besides, of course, the national cup final), can set itself to surpass Al-Hilal in terms of the number of goals. Now the champion is ahead by only two accurate shots (96 versus 94).
There are also personnel problems in Al-Nasra. The main loss is the Brazilian Talisca, who does not have time to recover from injury before the end of the championship. But the team also lacks Garib, Yahya and Maran - three more local representatives of the attacking line, at least in terms of roster rotation.
In the 1xbet line, we will select two bets on this game – Ronaldo’s total goals over 1.5 for 2.57 and Al-Nasr’s individual total over 2.5 goals with a more modest odds of 1.77.

The hosts have higher tournament motivation, but Al-Riyadh does not have serious means to achieve results, especially in terms of personnel. But the guests, despite the lack of clear goals at the finish line, have the necessary “weapons” to defeat the goal of one of the fighters for survival. And it seems that Ronaldo and his partners will definitely want to “pass” the 100-goal mark for the championship. And Cristiano himself is not averse to raising the scorer bar even higher.In the 1xbet line, we will select two bets on this game – Ronaldo’s total goals over 1.5 for 2.57 and Al-Nasr’s individual total over 2.5 goals with a more modest odds of 1.77.
