Betting Odds for CR7’s Al-Nassr Debut!
View all Al-Nassr v Al-Ta’ee betting markets
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner undertook his medical and completed the formalities of his switch to the Middle East before being unveiled to the club’s supporters, amidst a party atmosphere and huge fanfare, at Mrsool Park Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
The 37-year-old has signed a mammoth £175 million-a-year deal with the Saudi Pro League table-toppers after departing Manchester United by mutual agreement last month, and he could be in line to make his league debut just days after arriving in the country.
Al Nassr (1/4) play host to Al Ta’ee (8/1) bidding to extend their narrow one-point lead at the summit of the table ahead of their cross-city showdown with second placed Al-Shabab at the weekend.
And there is the possibility of Ronaldo being thrust straight into action ahead of that pivotal encounter in Riyadh, providing he is suffering no ill-effects of his month-long absence from competitive action.
Man Utd lose seven players and sign three as January transfer window closes
The former Real Madrid and Juventus star, who has netted an astounding 819 career goals, has not played since Portugal’s World Cup quarter-final exit to Morocco almost a month ago, but has reportedly been earmarked by boss Rudi Garcia to play some part in Thursday’s clash, where he is 11/5 to score the first or last goal of the match.
A bet365 spokesperson said: “ Saudi Arabian football at 3pm on a Thursday wouldn’t usually be a priority for the bet365 Trading Team, but we’re expecting a little bit more interest in this one!
“We have a number of markets available on Cristiano Ronaldo, with more expected closer to kick-off. Can he show that even at the age of 37, he is still a force to be reckoned with? Our customers seem to think so!”

Time will tell whether the prolific Portuguese starts the game or is introduced from the bench, or even kept on the sidelines with the crucial clash with Al Shabab on the horizon, but one of the many things that Ronaldo does possess in his locker is the ability to find the back of the net, and that will instantly appeal to his new manager.
Few players to have ever graced the turf have made as many headlines as the iconic frontman, and we are 4/7 that he continues to grab the limelight in the Middle East by netting a debut goal at any time.
Whilst goals did undoubtedly dry up after falling out of favour at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag, he managed to net 31 times for both club and country last term – weighing in with three hat-tricks in the process.
We are offering odds of 17/2 on a Ronaldo goal-frenzy (three or more) in Riyadh, whilst he can be backed at 12/5 to net at least two goals; a feat he achieved on eight occasions during the 2021/22 campaign.
