Saudi Pro League 2024-2025: Al Nassr-Al-Fayha, the likely lineups

Al Nassr-Al-Fayha, the likely lineups

Stefano Pioli-coached Al Nassr will try this afternoon to score its sixth win in the last seven games played. The Italian coach can count on a goal-seeking Cristiano Ronaldo to move closer to the incredible milestone of 1,000 career goals. On the other side will be the Al-Fayha team coached by Portuguese Pedro Emanuel looking for precious points to move away from the hot spots in the standings.

Pioli confirms Bento in goal, in front of him Simakan and Ali Lajami. In midfield, ex-Inter Marcelo Brozovic will be flanked by Hassan. Finally, the offensive trident will be formed by Sadio Mane and John Duran on the outsides with, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle.

The Al-Fayha chosen by coach Pedro Emanuel, on the other hand, should be the same one that drew against Al-Tawooun: Mosquera in goal, defensive line composed of Smalling, Al-Rashidi and captain Al-Khaibari. Leading the midfield will be the Uzbek Shukurov, while in attack there will be Pozuelo and Onyekuru on the flanks with Sakala as the central point.

Probable Lineups

Al-Nassr (4-3-3): Bento; Al Ghanmam, Simakan, Ali Lajami, Al-Boushal; Angelo, Brozovic, Hassan; Mané, Ronaldo, Duràn; All: Pioli.

Al-Fayha (3-4-3): Mosquera; Al-Khaibary, Smalling, Al-Rashidi; Baqawi, Bishi, Shukurov, Faris; Pozuelo, Sakala, Onyekuru; All.: Pedro Emanuel.
