Actually, the match between Al Nassr and Al Ahli is not an easy match because basically Al Ahli can make Al Nassr overwhelmed and make it difficult to win, I agree that with the absence of several core players like Ronaldo, there might be chance for Al Ahli to hold draw and share points.

I don't know the line-up of both teams yet, whether on Al Nassr or Al-Ahli's side. Moreover, regarding Ronaldo being able to play or not, in Al-Ahli's camp I also don't know whether Matthias Jaissle will play Ivan Toney as a starter. This is interesting, at least Al-Ahli can provide fierce resistance because they have newcomers. Not only Toney, but they also brought in midfielders. Although based on the betting exchange Al Nassr is more favored, but it feels like this match will be tough. That is if Matthias Jaissle immediately plays his newcomer, because I am quite sure that Ivan Toney is able to adapt immediately to his teammates at Al-Ahli. It's only a matter of days before these two teams meet, but Al Nassr still has the advantage of playing at home and has a much more competitive team.

Match took place today and we can see that Al Nassr has been able to include Ronaldo in their line-up and Ivan Toney has also been included in the Al Ahli squad.
But in the end the game ended in 1 - 1 draw and Al Nassr has been able to dominate the game and they were able to dominate the attack, unfortunately all of these efforts failed to produce results for Al Nassr to gain an advantage and win.
In this match I paid enough attention to how Al Ahli defense was quite good, on the other hand they have Edouard Mendy who was able to show some saves, I was quite surprised and amazed by Al Ahli back game.
They shared the points and it was not disadvantage for Al Nassr because they did not lose points and were not far behind at the start of the season like this.
