Al Nassr FC meets Al-Ahli at Zabeel Stadium on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, with kickoff set for 16:00 UTC in the AFC Champions League Two. The match pairs a star-heavy Al Nassr side led by Cristiano Ronaldo with an Al-Ahli lineup built around Julian Draxler, Erik Expósito and William Troost-Ekong.
Al Nassr starts in a 4-4-2 with Bento Krepski in goal, while Al-Ahli lines up in a 4-2-3-1 with Marwan Badreldin between the posts. Al Nassr's XI also features Nawaf Al-Boushail, Mohamed Simakan, Abdulelah Al Amri, Iñigo Martínez, Kingsley Coman, Marcelo Brozovic, Ângelo, Sadio Mané and Joao Félix. Al-Ahli's side includes Robin Tihi, Ayoub Amraoui, Michel Vlap, Ibrahima Diallo, Driss Fettouhi, Sekou Yansané and Amidou Doumbouya.
The injury list gives Al Nassr a smaller margin for error. Mubarak Al Buainain, Raghed Najjar and Sami Al-Najei are all unavailable, while Al-Ahli have no players sidelined. That makes the Saudi club's task harder against an opponent that arrives with a complete squad and a shape that should be difficult to break down.
