Team News, suspensions, and expected lineups

Al Nassr: Al Nassr will not have the services of Cristiano Ronaldo due to the red card in the Saudi Super Cup and will most likely be replaced by Abdulrahman Ghareeb. Luckily for Al Nassr, reports suggest that the Saudi Arabian Football Association has accepted its plea to reduce the 2-match ban for CR7 to just a single game. On the other hand, despite being seen in the training, it is doubtful whether Aziz Behich would start.

Expected lineup: David Ospina; Ali Lajmi, Al Fatil, Aymeric Laporte; Alex Telles, Marcelo Brozovic, Abdullah Al Khaibari; Abdulrahman Ghareeb; Sultan Al-Ghanam; Otavio; Sadio Mané.

Al Fayha: The team is expected to play the same team as the last game.

Expected lineup: Vladimir Stojkovic; Mohammed Al Baqawi; Sami Al Khaibari; Hussein Al Shuwaish; Ghislain Konan; Abdulrahman Al Safar; Gojko Cimirot; Abdelhamid Sabiri; Fashion Sakala; Henry Onyekuru; Anthony Nwakaeme.
