The Monastir team will challenge the Al-Nassr team in a Arab Club Champions Cup in King Fahd Sport City Stadium Stadium, Ta’if on Monday, July 31, 2023. For streaming coverage of Monastir vs Al-Nassr, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Al-Nassr will be looking to get their first win in the Arab Club Champions Cup when they take on Monastir at the King Fahd Stadium on Monday (31 July). This game is the second match of the group stage of this tournament.
Al-Nassr has not been able to show their best performance at the start of this season. They only played a goalless draw against Al-Shabab in their first match. Coach Luis Castro brought on his star strikers Cristiano Ronaldo and Talisca in the second half but neither could make an impact, leaving Al-Nassr to settle for a draw.
This draw is reflective of their pre-season campaign, as Al Nassr have won just two of six matches. Those wins came against weak sides Alverca and Farense in their first two friendlies, but they were annihilated by Celta Vigo (5-0) and Benfica (4-1) in their next two. Al-Nassr could only breathe a little easier when he drew against PSG and Inter Milan with a score of 0-0 and 1-1.
Meanwhile, Monastir was thrashed 4-0 by Zamalek in their Arab Club Champions Cup first match. The attack started with a Bechir Ben Said own goal in the 27th minute, followed by Ahmed Sayed who doubled their lead before the break. Sayed Abdallah then scored twice in the second half as the Tunisian side were badly humiliated.
Monastir is in last place in Group C with no points, while Al-Nassr is in second place with one point. The two teams met for the first time. Neither Al Nassr nor Monastir have won the cup before, but Saudi Arabia (8) and Tunisia (7) are the two most successful countries in the competition. Both teams need at least a point to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Monastir will probably play defensively and look for counter-attack opportunities. They need to improve their defense having conceded four goals in the previous game. They also need to be more creative in midfield and sharper in front of goal.
Meanwhile, Al-Nassr might play attack and try to dismantle Monastir’s defense. They have quality players such as Ronaldo, Talisca, Nordin Amrabat and Abdullah Al Khaibari. They need to be more effective in taking advantage of the opportunities they create and not let their guard down in maintaining concentration.
Based on the data above, Al-Nassr, driven by the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player, CR7, is expected to win over Monastir. Ronaldo is predicted to score his first goal for Al Nassr this season and bring his team to the top of Group C of the Arab Club Champions Cup.
