Al Ettifaq v Al Nassr: Confirmed Line-Ups as Ronaldo Makes First Start Under Postecoglou
Ange Postecoglou fields Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix and Kingsley Coman as Al Nassr seek a third straight win in the Saudi Pro League.
- On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, Al Ettifaq hosts Al Nassr at Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam for a Matchday 3 clash, with both unbeaten sides seeking to protect perfect starts in the Saudi Pro League.
- Al Ettifaq coach Arthur Papas selected a 4-3-3 formation, while Al Nassr manager Ange Postecoglou opted for a 4-4-2 setup featuring attackers Cristiano Ronaldo, Kingsley Coman, and João Félix.
- Goalkeeper Bento received a straight red card in the 12th minute during Monday's match, forcing replacement Abdulrahman Al-Otaibi to concede two goals before Al Nassr rallied for a 3-2 comeback victory.
- Second-Half goals from Sadio Mané and Abdulelah Al-Amri fueled the comeback, contrasting sharply with Ronaldo's frustration after being substituted in the 46th minute during Monday's difficult start.
- Recent head-to-head results favor Al Nassr, who won three of the previous five meetings, including a 1-0 victory in April 2026 when Coman scored the decisive goal.
