Where to watch Al Nassr vs Al Ettifaq live stream, TV channel, lineups, betting odds for Saudi Pro League match

Like the entire Saudi Pro League this season, these sides both sport a glittering new look as Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr visit Al Ettifaq to begin the new league campaign.

Ronaldo's arrival in Saudi Arabia last winter began a trend that flourished this past offseason, with Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Seko Fofana, and Alex Telles all following him to the club.

They were far from the only ones to profit, however, as multiple clubs across the league added global superstars for big money. Al Ettifaq was no different, as they brought over Jordan Henderson from Liverpool to link up with his former teammate and manager Steven Gerrard, who leads the club as head coach.

Now, with Al Nassr coming off a triumph in the preseason Arab Club Champions Cup tournament, Ronaldo and company look to charge headlong into their league title aspirations amidst a domestic campaign suddenly littered with top talent.

Al Ettifaq vs Al Nassr betting odds & lines

Al Nassr are understandably favourites in this match given their star power, but it's quite clear that it will be a tough battle between these two clubs. Al Ettifaq finished seventh last year, but have snatched points off Al Nassr in three of their last four meetings.

With all the new additions to Al Nassr, one thing the betting market has decided on is that goals will flow in this game, with the over 2.5 total goals a clear favourite and both teams projected to find the back of the net.
