Al-Taawoun team news
For Al-Taawoun, creativity will be a concern following the departure of Abdelhamid Sabiri, whose loan spell from Fiorentina has ended. That means much of the creative burden once again falls to veteran playmaker Fayçal Fajr, provided he recovers from injury in time. The real danger man, though, remains Musa Barrow—the Gambian forward who bagged 18 goals last season and continues to look like a player too good for mid-table surroundings.
Al Nassr FC team news
As has become the norm, Al-Nassr splashed the cash once more this summer, adding serious firepower in the form of Kingsley Coman, João Félix, and Íñigo Martínez. Not every marquee signing has gone to plan, though—January arrival Jhon Durán, a £65m investment, was shipped out on loan after failing to settle. That leaves Cristiano Ronaldo as the undisputed spearhead of the attack, fresh off netting his 100th goal for the club in the Super Cup final.
Team news is less straightforward for the Riyadh giants. Aymeric Laporte and Otávio have both struggled with fitness issues in preseason, while Sadio Mané sits this one out due to suspension after his red card against Al-Ittihad last week.
