Al Nassr is currently ranked 3rd in the rankings with 22 points after 11 rounds, possessing a strong attack with the brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Talisca.
Ronaldo has scored 7 goals this season, including 4 opening goals, while Talisca has also contributed 6 goals. Al Nassr’s style of play focuses on creativity from the midfield with Marcello Brozovic and the ability to penetrate from the wings, where Sadio Mane is present.
However, the 1-2 defeat to Al-Qadsiah in the previous round slowed down the team’s progress, while also exposing defensive weaknesses in the absence of Aymeric Laporte.
Damac are currently 11th with 14 points, having just won 2-1 against Al Kholood, extending their unbeaten run to three games. Georges-Kévin N’Koudou has been a key figure, scoring seven goals this season.
Damac’s style of play is centred on counter-attacking, with N’Koudou’s pace and the ability of a midfield led by Mohammed Fallatah. However, Damac have struggled away from home, winning just one of their last five away games.
Al Nassr have been absolutely dominant with 6 consecutive wins against Damac, scoring 14 goals and conceding only 3. The last match between the two teams was in April 2024, Al Nassr won 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Aymeric Laporte.
Al Nassr has home advantage and superior squad, especially the form of Ronaldo and Mane. Damac, although unbeaten in the last 3 matches, will find it difficult to stop Al Nassr in this match.
