Al Nassr

Al Nassr confidently topped their group in the AFC Champions League and made it to the playoffs. However, they are trailing significantly behind Al Hilal domestically. The team currently holds the second position, but they are already ten points behind the leaders, having played the same number of matches. Despite Ronaldo scoring 16 goals, Al Nassr hasn't managed to mount a serious challenge for the championship, and securing the second spot would be considered a failure.

Al Ettifaq

In the summer transfer window, Al Ettifaq made several high-profile signings. Steven Gerrard took over the team, and players like Georginio Wijnaldum, Moussa Dembele, and Jordan Henderson joined. Yet, the team hasn't shown outstanding results so far. At the end of the first round, Al Ettifaq sits in the middle of the league table, occupying the eighth position. The team has scored only 20 goals in 17 matches, with Dembele contributing seven of those since his arrival.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• Al Nassr has lost just one match at home this season.
• Al Ettifaq has celebrated only one victory in their last 11 matches.
• Al Ettifaq won their first encounter but suffered a defeat against Ronaldo's team in the King's Cup Round of 16 a month ago.

Prediction

This match won't be an easy stroll for Al Nassr, but it's unlikely that Gerrard's side will snatch points from their opponents. My bet will be on a total of over 2.5 goals.
