Persepoliswelcome Al-Nassr to the Azadi Stadium on Monday for the final showdown of the 2024-25AFC Champions League Eliteleague stage. The hosts have endured a rollercoaster ride under new manager Ismail Kartal and now find themselves in a do-or-die scenario to keep their continental dreams alive.
Their previous outing ended in a humbling 4-1 defeat to Al-Hilal, with the Iranian giants conceding four before halftime. Giorgi Gvelesiani salvaged a late consolation from the penalty spot, but the damage was already done. Sitting ninth in the standings with just six points from seven games, the Red Army must claim victory to secure a last-16 berth, though a draw might also be enough depending on other results.
Al-Nassr, on the other hand, are in red-hot form and have already punched their ticket to the knockout rounds. Their last continental outing saw them dismantle Al-Wasl 4-0, with three different players getting on the scoresheet, including the ever-prolific Cristiano Ronaldo, who bagged a brace. While the visitors have little at stake this week, they will be eager to wrap up their group-stage campaign on a high note.

The club brought in Ismail Kartal as their new head coach in late January. However, his tenure so far has been anything but smooth sailing, with the team managing a meagre one point per game during this period.
On the injury front, Milad Sarlak, Oston Urunov, and Saeed Sadeghi, who were absent in previous matches, are expected to remain sidelined.
Al Nassr FC team news
In Al Nassr's last outing against Al Ahli SC, both Sultan Al Ghannam and Otavio picked up injuries that forced them off the pitch. The duo is unlikely to feature in the upcoming clash against Persepolis.
