Al Gharafa have blown hot and cold on the continental stage, something which they can't afford as the League Stage enters the second half but will be boosted by Friday's 3-1 win against Al Wakrah in their Qatar Stars League 2024/25 match.

A haul of four points means they can be overtaken even by bottom-placed Al Ain FC, with the UAE side three adrift, but the records are not in Al Gharafa's favour with the Qatari side winless in each of their last 10 matches against Saudi Arabian opposition in the competition.

Al Nassr, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last seven matches against Qatari opposition on the continental stage, winning each of their last five.

They were in a rich vein of form prior to the international break but suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Al Qadisiyah in the Saudi Pro League 2024/25 on Friday, with the result leaving them six points adrift of pacesetters Al Hilal SFC.

Venue: Al Bayt Stadium, (Al Khor)
