The Arab Club Champions Cup features a massive fixture between two Asian footballing giants this week as Al Shabab lock horns with Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr in an important clash at the King Fahd Stadium on Friday.
Al Shabab finished in fourth place in the Saudi Pro League standings last season and have been fairly impressive over the past year. The away side edged Debrecen to a narrow 1-0 victory last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, secured a second-place finish in the Saudi Pro League last season and have not been at their best in recent months. The Saudi Arabian outfit held Inter Milan to an admirable 1-1 draw this week and will look to take it up a notch in this match.
Al Nassr were outplayed by Benfica and Celta Vigo in the same week but have bounced back against PSG and Inter Milan. Cristiano Ronaldo is yet to make his mark on the team's pre-season tour and will look to step up in this match.
Al Shabab can pack a punch on their day but have not been at their best in recent weeks. Al Nassr are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
