Preview: Al-Qadisiyah vs Al-Nassr
Stefano Pioli’s men dominated Al Ettifaq in their previous meeting.
Al Nassr are set to host Al Ettifaq in match week 21 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. Stefano Pioli’s men are in good form and are sitting in the third spot in the points table. They still have a lot to do to win the league title.
Currently, they have been able to secure 13 wins in 20 games. The visitors are in 10th place with seven wins in the same number of matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr were held to a draw in their last fixture. It was the AFC Champions League match against Persepolis. Stefano Pioli’s men will be looking to continue their form in the Saudi Pro League. With their current form, they might even go on to win the title.
Al Ettifaq will be under-confident as they fell prey to last-placed Al Fateh in their last league game. The upcoming game will be a big challenge for the visitors. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. will look to control the match from the start.
Al Ettifaq are very capable of pulling off an upset and with a win, they can jump up a couple of spots. If the hosts secure three points here, they will close down their gap for the top spot in the league.

History
The AFC Champions League Elite (abbreviated as the ACL Elite) is an annual continental club football competition organised by the Asian Football Confederation, and contested by Asia's top-division football clubs. It is the most prestigious club competition in Asian football, played by the national league champions (and, for some nations, one or more runners-up) of their national associations.
Introduced in 1967 as the Asian Champion Club Tournament, the competition rebranded as AFC Champions League in 2002 following the merger of the Asian Club Championship, the Asian Cup Winners' Cup and the Asian Super Cup. It was rebranded again in 2024 to its current name.
A total of 24 clubs compete in the league stage of the competition, divided into East and West regions (12 teams each). The winner of the AFC Champions League Elite qualifies for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, and also for the next edition of the AFC Champions League Elite league stage if they have not already qualified through their domestic performance.
The most successful club in the competition is Al-Hilal with a total of four titles. Al Ain are the current champions, having beaten Yokohama F. Marinos in the 2024 final.
