Preview: Al Nassr vs Al Ahli SC prediction, odds, where to watch, time | AFC Champions League Two 2025-26 semi-final
This will be the first-ever encounter between these clubs.
Al Nassr will now go head-to-head against Al Ahli SC Doha for their semifinal fixture of the 2025-26 AFC Champions League Two. This is going to be an entertaining outing between these sides, taking place at the Zabeel Stadium.
Cristiano Ronaldo and company are coming in after securing a 4-0 win against Al Wasl in their previous fixture of the continental competition. It was a dominating effort by the Jorge Jesus-led side. They will now only be looking for another win to secure a spot in the ACL Two final.
Al Nassr are on a phenomenal run of form at the moment. They will be fully confident for their upcoming game and will be looking to control it from the start. The Saudi Pro League side will be gunning for another win here.
Al Ahli SC Doha are doing well, but things are not going to get be easy when they take on Al Alami next. They have secured back-to-back wins in their last two matches, but the Brigadiers have also lacked consistency.
Younes Ali’s men must work closely on their strategy if they want to secure a spot in the AFC Champions League Two final. Al Ahli must not give chances to their opponent, and in that way, they will have higher chances to win.

Players to Watch
Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr)
The 41-year-old Portuguese talisman continues to score goals for Al Nassr. He was one of the goal scorers for his side in the previous fixture, which also helped them to secure a win. Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be a genuine menace to the opponent’s defence.
He will be gearing up to help his side in the attacking front yet again. He has two goal contributions in the ACL Two this season.
Michel Vlap (Al Ahli)
Michel Vlap will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the Saudi Pro League opponents. In the ongoing AFC Champions League Two campaign, he has scored six goals and will be looking to add more to his tally. The 28-year-old can control the midfield well and is very useful in the attacking front.
