Al Nassr preview: Looking for their first win in the AFC Champions League
While Al Nassr have been without a loss since their defeat in the Saudi Super Cup to Al Hilal, their draw with Al Shorta in the first round of the new AFC Champions League season wasn't a great result. Still, Al Nassr are having a good season overall and they will likely notch their first win of the competition very soon against Al Rayyan.
Predicted lineup: Bento (GK), Al Ghanam, Simakan, Laporte, Al-Najdi, Al-Khaibari, Otavio, Angelo, Wesley, Mane & Ronaldo

Al Rayyan preview: Trying to avoid a fourth loss in a row
After losing to Al Hilal at the start of the new AFC Champions League, Al Rayyan followed that up with a couple of losses in their domestic championship, so they enter their upcoming duel with Al Nassr on a poor run of form. Given the quality of both teams, Al Rayyan's losing streak is bound to extend at least one more game.

Player to watch: Cristiano Ronaldo
With six goals in seven games across all competitions this season, Ronaldo is on course for another good campaign in Saudi Arabia, so he is obviously the player to watch in this match, as he is in any other.
