August 9th, 02:30, Club Friendly Match, Almería vs Al-Nassr.
Almería finished second to last in La Liga last season due to poor performance, relegated back to Segunda División, ending their short two-year journey in La Liga. Al-Nassr, on the other hand, was the runner-up in the Saudi Pro League last season. They were the league runner-up in both seasons with Cristiano Ronaldo playing for the club.
Almería has only been shut out once in their last 10 matches, including scoring at least one goal in their last 5 friendlies. Al-Nassr has played 6 preseason matches, failing to win their last 5 after a 1-0 victory over Marítimo in their first game, including 4 consecutive scoreless matches. Their last preseason opponent was Granada, the last-place team in La Liga last season. Talisca, Otavio, Brozovic and Telles led the starting lineup, Mané was on the bench and did not play, Ronaldo was not back. They eventually lost 0-1.
This match against Almería is Al-Nassr’s last preseason match, and 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to play. Two days ago, Ronaldo rejoined the team for training and traveled with the team to Almería. However, coach Castro confirmed before the match that Ronaldo will still be absent.
According to the schedule, after finishing their last preseason match against Almería, Al-Nassr will actively prepare for the Saudi Super Cup match against Al-Ittihad on August 15th, and then 8 days later they will face their first league game of the season – a home game against Al-Taawoun.
