Al Nassr fans turning up in good numbers in Dubai!
Here’s a look at the line-ups of Al Ahli. Can they overcome this Al Nassr side? The Qatari side have a well known name in Julian Draxler, former German international and World Cup winner.
Al Nassr have announced their playing XIs! Ronaldo lead the attack as captain. He has Joao Felix, Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman as his support, making them a highly formidable team.
Al Nassr will miss Raghed Najjar and Mubarak Al Buainain due to injuries, while Sami Al Najei remains doubtful for the semifinal. Even with those absences, Jorge Jesus still has plenty of quality options available in his squad.
Al Ahli SC Doha have no major injury concerns, with all players fit and ready for selection. That gives coach Younes Ali added flexibility with his lineup and in-game changes.
With Al Nassr in strong form and Al Ahli eager to spring a surprise, fans can expect a competitive semifinal at Zabeel Stadium. While the Saudi side may start as favourites, the visitors will back themselves to challenge for a place in the final.
Al Ahli SC Doha head into the semifinal with confidence after back-to-back victories, giving them useful momentum before this major clash. The Qatari side have shown quality this season, but inconsistency has also been an issue at times.
Against a strong Al Nassr team, coach Younes Ali is expected to focus on defensive discipline and a compact shape. Reducing space for the opposition attack while using counter-attacks effectively could be their best route to success.
Although they are seen as underdogs, Al Ahli will believe they can cause an upset and book a place in the final.
Al Nassr enter the semifinal in strong form after a commanding 4-0 win over Al Wasl in the last round. Jorge Jesus’ side looked sharp in every department and strengthened their status as one of the favourites to win the competition.
The Saudi club have been delivering consistent performances in recent weeks, with an effective attack and a well-organised defence. Cristiano Ronaldo will once again be the main player to watch, as his leadership and finishing ability could prove decisive.
Al Nassr are likely to start on the front foot, aiming to control possession and set the pace early in the match.
