Al Ittihad, the reigning league champions, will rely on the experience and cohesion of their star-studded squad.

The team from Riyadh showcases phenomenal attacking power. The trio of Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, and Talisca is one of the strongest in Asia.

In a do-or-die cup match, the team will be highly motivated to prove their superiority and break their winless streak.
Al Ittihad

An impassable midfield led by N'Golo Kanté and Fabinho ensures defensive solidity, while in attack, all hopes rest on the genius of Karim Benzema. Al Ittihad knows how to play against Al Nassr, tactically neutralizing their key players and capitalizing on their own chances on the counter-attack, as proven by their dominance in recent head-to-head meetings.
