Al Nassr will welcome FC Goa to Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, for what should be a lively AFC Champions League Two Group D clash. The Saudi side have started the tournament on fire, winning all three of their matches so far. FC Goa, on the other hand, are still chasing their first win and will hope to cause an upset against the group leaders. Reports suggest Jorge Jesus’ team are looking sharper with every passing game.
When these two sides met in Goa a few weeks back, Al Nassr edged it 2-1, with João Félix and Ângelo Gabriel combining brilliantly. That win was followed by another strong display as SoftFootball reported a routine 2-0 victory against Al Hazem, where Félix again looked dangerous. The Portuguese attacker is expected to start once more, with Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Marcelo Brozović offering support in attack.
Team News
Cristiano Ronaldo will not feature, with Jorge Jesus choosing to rest him for later stages. Saad Al Nasser and Saad Haqawi remain out through injuries, while Sadio Mané and Kingsley Coman might appear from the start. For Goa, David Timor’s suspension is a major blow, forcing coach Manolo Marquez to reorganise the midfield.
Possible Lineups
Al Nassr (4-4-2): Krepski; Al Ghannam, Martinez, Al Amri, Ahmed; Mané, Al Khaibari, Ângelo, Coman; Félix, Camara.
FC Goa (5-4-1): Tiwari; Thangjam, Moreno, Jhingan, Copovi, Sangwan; Tavora, Herrera, Singh, Drazic; Siverio.
Al-Nassr shared a post on their official X account showcasing training sessions for the AFC Champions League Two, featuring players like João Félix, whose €126 million transfer to Atlético Madrid in 2019 set a record for teenage footballers, highlighting the club’s investment in global talent.
SoftFootball’s Prediction
Al Nassr 3–1 FC Goa. The hosts should have too much quality, and Félix might grab a goal or two as Al Nassr continue their perfect start even though they fell short against Al-Ittihad in the King’s Cup.
