The Persepolis team will challenge the Al-Nassr team in a 1e ronde AFC Champions League in Azadi Stadium Stadium, Teheran on Tuesday, September 19, 2023. For streaming coverage of Persepolis vs Al-Nassr, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Persepolis will welcome Al Nassr to the Azadi Stadium on Tuesday (19/9) in the opening match of Group E of the 2023-24 AFC Champions League. The visiting team, which is strengthened by Cristiano Ronaldo and other stars, will get several conveniences when they visit Iran.
Persepolis, who are the defending champions of the Iran Pro League, are unbeaten in their last 14 matches in all competitions. Yahya Golmohammadi’s side returned to the Champions League after a year-long absence, as failure to obtain an AFC license forced them out of the competition despite gaining qualification.
The Red Team has a long history in the Champions League, having reached the final twice in 2018 and 2020, but lost to Kashima Antlers and Ulsan Hyundai. They were also semifinalists in 2017 and 2019. Persepolis will try to repeat their achievement and win their first title in this competition.
On the other hand, Al-Nassr is one of the strongest teams in Saudi Arabia currently. Luis Castro’s team is in good form after winning five straight in all competitions, including a 3-1 win over Al-Raed in the last league.
The Najd Knights team has two world stars on their front line, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, who both scored goals in the win over Al-Raed. Both of them are also mainstays of the Portugal and Senegal national teams. Al-Nassr also has other quality players such as Talisca, Nordin Amrabat, and Omar Hawsawi.
Al-Nassr reached the semifinals of the Champions League in 2020, but lost to Persepolis on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time. They will look to take revenge and achieve their maiden win over an Iranian team in this competition.
This is the fifth official meeting between Persepolis and Al-Nassr. Of the four previous meetings between the two teams, Persepolis and Al-Nassr both won twice. Persepolis and Al-Nassr last met in the 2020 AFC Champions League semifinals, which saw Persepolis win 6-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time.
Reflecting on the latest statistics and performance, Persepolis are unbeaten in their last 14 matches but their record against the Saudi Arabian team is not very encouraging. Al-Nassr, meanwhile, are in good form, and with Ronaldo and Mane on fire at the moment, they will go into this match as favourites. It is estimated that the Najd Knights must secure the full three points in this match.
As additional information: the arrival of the Saudi Arabian club to Iran was a big surprise, because in the past the Saudi Arabian football team often had to play on neutral fields due to political conflicts with Iran. But now the situation has changed, why? Because there are names of famous players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Karim Benzema in this competition.
