The 41-year-old has scored eight goals in nine ACL matches!
For their round 2 fixture of the AFC Champions League Elite 2026-27 edition, FC Neftchi Fergana are travelling to Al Awwal Park in Riyadh. They are all set to go head-to-head against Al Nassr in an entertaining fixture.
The Big Yellow will not be quite happy with their start in the Asian competition. They faced a 0-4 thrashing at the hands of Al Ain. The Ange Postecoglou-led side will be eager to get back to winning ways and being consistent throughout the game is what they need at the moment.
Al Nassr missed out on multiple chances to score goals in their last Saudi Pro League outing against Al Diriyah, but only managed to score three. They need to have more control in the midfield and must polish their skills in the defence. Cristiano Ronaldo and company have not been the best in their performances in the backline, but there was some improvement in their recent league matchup.
