Al Nassr arrive unbeaten in the new campaign after opening wins over Al Fateh and Al Riyadh, the club having beaten the former 3-0 and the latter 4-0. Ange Postecoglou’s side have been bolstered by the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is expected to be involved on the night. Al Ettifaq began their season with a 4-2 victory over Al Riyadh — a match in which Al Riyadh finished with 10 men — and have also recorded a 1-0 win over Al Fateh since Arthur Papas took charge at the start of the season.
The Global Ones have racked up two straight wins to commence their title defence, scoring seven goals across those opening fixtures. Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to the squad is noted in coverage as an added attacking option for Postecoglou’s team ahead of the Dammam trip.
Al Ettifaq’s early results include the 4-2 victory over Al Riyadh and a 1-0 success against Al Fateh under new head coach Arthur Papas; the coach is identified in reports as Australian. The club finished seventh in the previous campaign, a standing Papas will be aiming to improve this season.
