⁠Al-Nassr vs. Al-Rayyan prediction, lineups, betting tips and odds

Knight of Najd cook under the leadership of Stefano Pioli.

Al-Nassr seems to be a well-coordinated team since Stefano Pioli took over as manager of the team. Knight of Najd's is currently in third place in the league, just one point behind leaders Al-Ittihad. They have won three games in a row away from home. This match against the Qatari team in the AFC Champions League is a wonderful opportunity to give some players a break and the others some much-needed playing time. Hopefully they can get their first win in the competition in this game.

Al-Rayyan have not been at their best this season as they are in ninth place in the Qatar Stars League. The team has only managed one win in its last six games, highlighting its inconsistency. Nicolas Cordova's side also lost their first game against Al-Nassr's league rivals Al Hilal and now face another tough challenge.

Players to keep an eye on

Sadio Mane (⁠Al-Nassr)

Sadio Mane was once considered one of the best players in the world during his time at Liverpool. However, things didn't go his way at Al-Nassr as the versatile attacker failed to establish himself as one of the team's most important players. He has appeared nine times for them this season, only scoring once, but has five assists to his name. Those aren't impressive numbers for someone with his qualities and he'll be hoping to add more goals to his game.

Roger Guedes (Al-Rayyan)

Roger Guedes has been in good form for the Qatari side this season, scoring four goals in the first seven games. Guedes also opened his account in the competition with a great goal against Al Hilal in the last game. His versatility makes him a real asset for Al-Rayyan, who will be hoping he will inspire them to a win against Al-Nassr.
