The managers Rui Vitória and Paulo Sérgio are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Pro League league table.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pro League. That game was an away game at Al Wahda, so at least Al Nassr are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
