Match preview

FK Arkadag can lay claim to the staggering record of never having dropped a single league point in their history. Since they were founded in April 2023, they have won all 82 league matches. A visit to Al Nassr in the AFC Champions League, however, represents a significant step-up in terms of quality.

In this season's AFC Champions League Two, the Turkmenistani outfit won one, drew four and lost one of their group stage matches, earning them a round of 16 meeting against the star-studded Al Nassr, who won the first leg 1-0 in Turkmenistan without Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese forward is back in the fold after boycotting his side's matches.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Al Nassr FC vs Arkadag today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
