Al Nassr vs FC Goa Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | AFC Champions League Two 2025-26

Jorge Jesus’ men emerged victorious when these sides last faced each other.

Al Nassr are now gearing up to host FC Goa in the group stage fixture of the 2025-26 AFC Champions League Two. This is going to be an interesting contest, which will take place at the Al-Awwal Park.

The Jorge Jesus-led side will be looking to continue their run of form. They have won all of their first three group stage games of the Asian competition. Al Nassr are at the top of Group D.

They will be at home, which is going to be an added advantage for them. The Saudi Pro League club will be gunning for yet another victory.

FC Goa came close to defeating Al Nassr last time around, but their efforts were not enough. The India-based club will be playing away from home this time around. This can keep them under pressure from the start of the fixture.

The Gaurs will be looking to secure their first win of the AFC Champions League Two this season, but it is not going to be an easy outing for them.

Players to Watch

Joao Felix (Al Nassr)

With Cristiano Ronaldo likely to be rested, Joao Felix is going to play a crucial role in the attacking front for the hosts. The Portuguese forward will be keen on finding the net this time around. Even though his performances in the last two games have not been the best, Felix’s start to the season has been excellent.

Javier Siverio (FC Goa)

Javier Siverio will be looking to step up his game so that he can help the Gaurs stand a chance against Al Nassr. Although he did not find the net last time around, the 27-year-old is going to come up with a different approach in the final third. It is a big responsibility for him to lead his side up front.
