The Arab Club Champions Cup resumes with another exciting round of matches this week, featuring a clash between Al Shorta and the impressive Al Nassr. The encounter is set to take place at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium on Wednesday.

Al Shorta vs Al Nassr: Preview Having clinched the top spot in the Iraqi Premier League standings last season, Al Shorta enters this match with a commendable track record on the domestic stage over the past year. In their previous game, the home team exhibited their prowess by comfortably defeating Al Sadd with a 4-2 scoreline. Eager to replicate their recent success, Al Shorta aims for another positive outcome this week.

Conversely, Al Nassr secured a commendable second-place finish in the Saudi Pro League table during the previous season. However, their recent form has been somewhat inconsistent. The visiting side managed to secure a 3-1 victory over Raja CA in their last match, bolstering their confidence ahead of this upcoming fixture.

Al Shorta vs Al Nassr: Previous Encounters and Key Statistics Al Nassr is yet to engage in an official match against Al Shorta, signifying the novelty of this matchup. With two wins in their last eight matches across various competitions, Al Nassr's recent form has been somewhat shaky. These victories, however, were achieved in the Arab Club Champions Cup in the previous week. Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo showcased his prolific goal-scoring abilities during his time with Al Nassr, netting an impressive 14 goals in just 16 appearances in the Saudi Pro League. Among the competition's top scorers, only Anderson Talisca outshone the Portuguese legend.

On the defensive front, Al Shorta demonstrated their resilience in the Iraqi Premier League last season. They boasted the best defensive record, conceding a mere 24 goals in 38 league games throughout the campaign.

Al Shorta vs Al Nassr: Match Prediction Despite possessing a formidable squad, Al Nassr has struggled to consistently meet expectations over the past year. Cristiano Ronaldo's recent form has been promising, as he found the back of the net in each of his last three matches in the competition. The star player aims to extend his goal-scoring streak in this week's game.

Al Shorta, meanwhile, has risen to the occasion this year with an impressive performance. However, on paper, Al Nassr holds the advantage as the stronger team. As such, they are likely to secure victory in this match.

Predicted Outcome: Al Shorta 1-3 Al Nassr
