Al Ahli unexpectedly dropped points at home against Al Fateh but swiftly recovered with a 1-0 victory over Al Taawun. They currently stand third in the table, with the gap between them and their upcoming opponents, Al Nassr, reduced to six points due to recent results and Al Nassr’s struggles. This upcoming match holds significant importance for both teams as they vie for the second spot, although challenging Al Hilal for the top position seems improbable.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates find themselves in a predicament as they’ve begun to lose points just as the season reaches its climax. Al Nassr first settled for a 4-4 draw against Al Hazm, followed by a 1-3 defeat against Al Raed, both teams situated towards the lower end of the league standings. Their disappointment extended when they lost in the penalties against Al Ain in the second leg of the AFC Champions League.
