Al Nassr are unbeaten so far in their group
Al Nassr were completely bulldozered by Al Hilal in their last match. Not only did they suffer a 0-3 loss, but their gap to the top slot has grown to seven points. Al Nassr will now have to concentrate on the AFC Champions League, where they will face Istiklol in the last group match. They have already qualified for the next round but will be looking to close out proceedings in style before moving on.
In the Tajikistan league, Istiklol have been relentless, but so far they have not been able to match the Champions League’s quality. In the AFC Champions League group, they are at the bottom with zero wins in five games, while in their domestic league, they have been outstanding, with only two losses in 19 matches. Their fans hope to get something to cheer for as they close out their campaign.

Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo is the obvious name to look out for in this clash. He has been incredible for them and not only scored the most goals but also provided the most assists. Following the loss against Al Hilal, Ronaldo looked very unhappy and this match could be the perfect opportunity for him to inspire his team.
Senin Sebai (Istiklol)
Sebai joined Istiklol from Israel this season and has looked good for them. Sebai has scored twice for them in the Champions League. He is a solid player, and his physical presence in the box makes him a very dangerous player. Set-pieces in particular are where he can prove to be very dangerous.
