It will be a very tough match for Al Nassr when they face Al Shahab this week. The reason is that Al Shahab is not a team that can be underestimated at all, they have a pretty good appearance. Considering what happened to Al Nassr in the last few matches, I myself have a little doubt about them in this match.
Not to underestimate, but if their performance is like the previous week, then I won't be surprised when they have to swallow defeat.

Al Nassr have issues in defense that were not fixed and they have been bearing it and paying expensive costs with many lost points in this season. Every match with weak defense is always risky for Al Nassr in way of losing points to their opponents. Al Shabab likely don't have enough ability to challenge rank of Al Nassr but they are not a too weak team in Saudi Arabia and potentially can get points from Al Nassr.

I now really doubt Al-Nassr's performance, which seems to have experienced quite a drastic decline. They lost the match against Al Orubah in the SPL. And then last Monday they were only able to get a draw in the last 16 of the LCA first leg against Esteghlal. Even though in the match against Esteghlal there was no Cristiano Ronaldo, with the squad at Al-Nassr they should have still been ahead but they failed to win and only got a draw.

Now I am also starting to doubt that Al-Nassr will play against Al-Shabab. Because yes, Al-Shabab is a team that can actually be quite troublesome. So I feel a draw could even happen. But I may have to take a risk by still favoring Al-Nassr. Because it would be quite strange if AL-Nassr continued to get negative results in 3 consecutive matches in all competitions.

Al Nassr have big problems in this season and with or without Cristiano Ronaldo, their performances are not too good and worse than last two seasons. Their current position and situation in Saudi Professional League are not too good and something worse can happen in last months of season and they might finish this season very bad.

Feeling fearful about the ending is not helpful, and they have to focus on each match, try to maximize their performances and achieve as best results as possible, if they don't think of summer holidays right now.
