Preview: Al-Nassr Vs Al Sadd
Two unbeaten sides in the competition face off to keep their unbeaten streak intact.
After securing a convincing 2-0 win over Damac in the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr are now set to lock horns with Qatari side Al Sadd at Al-Awwal Park on a Monday night action of the AFC Champions League Elite West aiming to maintain their unbeaten streak in the competition.
Although Al Nassr have endured a mixed start to their Saudi Pro League season, their form in the AFC Champions League Elite has been very impressive after securing four wins and one draw to sit third in the overall standings. The Knight of Najds have been ruthless in this competition having scored 12 goals and conceded just four from five games to accumulate 13 points from a possible 15.
Al Sadd have made an excellent start in this competition becoming one of the only four teams alongside their opponents on Monday to remain undefeated. The Qatari side have won two games on the road while drawing another three to occupy fifth position in the standings. In the previous match against Al Hilal, they put on an excellent shift to pull a massive 1-1 draw in their favour.

About AFC Champions League Elite:
History
The AFC Champions League Elite (abbreviated as the ACL Elite) is an annual continental club football competition organised by the Asian Football Confederation, and contested by Asia's top-division football clubs. It is the most prestigious club competition in Asian football, played by the national league champions (and, for some nations, one or more runners-up) of their national associations.
Introduced in 1967 as the Asian Champion Club Tournament, the competition rebranded as AFC Champions League in 2002 following the merger of the Asian Club Championship, the Asian Cup Winners' Cup and the Asian Super Cup. It was rebranded again in 2024 to its current name.
A total of 24 clubs compete in the league stage of the competition, divided into East and West regions (12 teams each). The winner of the AFC Champions League Elite qualifies for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, and also for the next edition of the AFC Champions League Elite league stage if they have not already qualified through their domestic performance.
The most successful club in the competition is Al-Hilal with a total of four titles. Al Ain are the current champions, having beaten Yokohama F. Marinos in the 2024 final.
