Al Nassr stars to watch vs FC Goa in AFC Champions League Two clash in Saudi Arabia

Al Nassr have played and won all three AFC Champions League Two games.

To no one’s surprise, Al Nassr are cruising in their AFC Champions League Two campaign, having picked up nine points from their three games. One win in their remaining three group games will secure their place in the knockout stage.

Jorge Jesus’ side are the favourite to win the AFC Champions League Two this season. Hence, it is no surprise that they have been so dominant in their group so far. Al Nassr have scored nine goals and conceded just one, having complete control in all three games.

While the game against FC Goa at the Fatorda Stadium was a hard-fought affair, the Saudi Pro League club will surely be looking to book their tickets to the next round as they go up against the Indian Super League club once again on Wednesday.

Here are three players who will be game changers for Al Nassr when they face FC Goa:

Abdulrahman Ghareeb

The Saudi national team player has been in top form when it comes to the AFC Champions League Two this season. Abdulrahman Ghareeb has scored one goal and provided three assists in his two starts in the tournament so far.

Ghareeb has not been utilised much by Al Nassr since the game at the Fatorda Stadium last month. However, he would probably start on Wednesday, and he would be hungry to impress Jorge Jesus to push himself up the pecking order.

The 28-year-old can play on the left wing or as a left back. His pace and crossing will be a problem for the FC Goa defenders to contain, and it will be no surprise if Ghareeb pulls out a man-of-the-match performance once again.

Wesley

Wesley had a decent outing against FC Goa in the reverse fixture. He completed 37 passes and had a 50% dribble completion rate at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. The Brazilian also made four recoveries to help his side defensively.

Jorge Jesus rested Wesley in the 2-1 win against Al-Fayha, hence he is expected to start against FC Goa on Wednesday. The 20-year-old can play as a left-midfielder or a right-midfielder and can even slot in on either wing if needed by his coach.

Haroune Camara

Haroune Camara has started just four games for Al Nassr this season as he is behind Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo in pecking order. However, the 27-year-old started and scored in the reverse fixture against FC Goa, in what is his only goal in his campaign so far.

The striker has played in the Saudi Pro League in the entirety of his career, having represented Al Qadasiya, Al Ittihad, Al Ettifaq, and Al Shabab. Camara scored 7 goals and 3 assists last season for Al Shabab before he was signed by Al Nassr for €3.4 million in the summer transfer window.

With Cristiano Ronaldo rested for the ACL2 fixture, Camara is likely to start against FC Goa once again. The Saudi-based player will be hungry given the lack of chances, and he would be eager to show Jorge Jesus what he is capable of when he takes the field on Wednesday.
