Players to watch out for:

Joao Felix (Al Nassr)

The Portuguese attacker has been exceptional ever since he joined Al Nassr during the summer. In 18 appearances, Joao Felix has registered 16 goals and five assists across all competitions. He is one of the best players in the world when it comes to operating in tight spaces.

His technical ability allows him to beat his marker. Felix is also a threat from his long shots.

Hasan Abdulkareem (Al Zawraa)

The Iraqi international is Al Zawraa’s top goal scorer in the competition so far. He has found the back of the net twice in five appearances. He primarily operates as a right winger and is an effective threat to the opposition from wide areas.

He is going through a dry spell in front of the goal. Still, fans will be expecting an excellent performance from him against Nassr.
