Al-Nassr will hope to close the gap to the sides at the top of the Saudi Pro League when they take on Damac at Al Awal Park at King Saud University on Saturday evening.
The hosts are currently in third place in the league standings and three points behind league leaders Al-Hilal, while the visitors are in 10th place and three points above the drop zone after nine matches.
The Knights of Najd played out a 2-2 draw against Abha before the international break, and while that did mark their 11th consecutive match without losing, it did bring an end to a 10-match winning streak in all competitions.
In their last match, Otavio gave his side the lead inside the first five minutes and Talisca doubled their advantage before the half-hour mark, but they were unable to hold on to the win after Sultan Al-Ghannam was sent off in the dying moments.
Despite dropping points in that game, Luis Castro will still be fairly content with his side's attacking output, as they have now scored two or more goals in each of their last eight matches in all competitions and are the joint-highest scorers in the league with 26.
