Al Nassr vs Al Ain: AFC Champions League Elite Match Preview and Live Streaming Info

Al Nassr is set to host UAE club Al Ain in a crucial Group B clash of the AFC Champions League Elite 2024-25 on Tuesday, November 5. The match will take place at Al Awwal Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a kick-off time of 1pm ET for fans in the US.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr is currently third in its group, having edged past Esteghlal FC in their previous fixture thanks to a late goal from Aymeric Laporte. The team is also third in the Saudi Pro League table, six points behind the leader and defending champion Al Hilal.

Al Ain, on the other hand, is winless in the group stage so far, with one draw and two losses. They will be eager to secure their first win, especially after a strong performance from key player Soufiane Rahimi, who recently scored a hat-trick in a Champions League match against Al Hilal.

The predicted lineups for Al Nassr include Bento in goal, with a defensive lineup of Al Ghannam, Simakan, Laporte, and Boushal. The midfield will likely feature Alkhaibari, Brozovic, Otavio, and Talisca, supporting the attacking duo of Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo. Al Ain’s lineup is expected to include Senda in goal, with Al Zaabi, Al-Hashemi, Koumare, and Salomoni in defense, and Rahimi leading the attack.

The match will be telecast on the Sports18 Network and can also be live-streamed on the FanCode app and website. For fans in the US, the match will be available on Paramount+.

Al Nassr enters the match with just one significant injury concern, as Sami Al-Najei is out for the season following cruciate ligament surgery. Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to break his three-game scoring drought across all competitions in this match.
