Al Nassr is scheduled to play an away fixture against Al Wasl in the AFC Champions League Two quarterfinal. This particular match was postponed and was originally slated to be a two-legged encounter last month.
Both teams secured their spots in the quarterfinals by winning their respective Round of 16 matches in February.

Al Nassr is considered the favorite to lift the trophy, but they will be competing away from home in a single-leg quarter-final fixture. Al Nassr supporters are hoping to see Cristiano Ronaldo on the field, as he has only made one appearance in this competition during the current season.
Ronaldo featured in Al Nassr’s most recent Saudi Pro League match earlier this week against Al Ettifaq, where he was substituted in the 89th minute due to stomach discomfort.
Given Ronaldo’s limited involvement in this competition and his stomach pain in the prior match, most fans presumed he would be absent today, though fresh reports suggest the contrary.
