The Saudi club, Al Nassr, currently enjoys a comfortable lead at the summit of Group E. Overcoming a challenging start to the season, they have bounced back emphatically, remaining unbeaten after two initial losses. Positioned as the team to beat, they are separated by only a point from table-toppers Al Hilal, who still have a match in hand. In the AFC Champions League, Al Nassr has secured a perfect 12 points from four games, underlining their dominance. Their previous encounter against Al Akhdoud resulted in a commanding 3-0 victory.
On the other side, Persepolis enters this match with a record of 1 win, 1 loss, and 3 draws. Their recent fixture against Sepahan concluded in a 1-0 defeat away from home, while they secured a 1-1 draw in their last AFC Champions League match against Istiklol. Notably, in five out of the last six clashes involving Persepolis, a relatively low number of goals were scored in matches against opposing teams. Despite a mixed season, they currently occupy the fifth position in the Iran Pro League.
In terms of injuries and team news, Al Nassr is without Al-Boushail and Alkhaibari, and their return dates remain uncertain. Although Laporte was seen training with the squad, he missed Al Nassr’s 3-0 win and is expected to be sidelined for a few more games.
Conversely, the Iranian club Persepolis is fortunate to have no significant injuries, enabling them to field their strongest starting XI against the table-topping Al Nassr in the upcoming encounter.
