The Super Cup final lost on penalties made us understand even more, if ever there was any need, Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire to continue winning. The Portuguese phenomenon cried over the defeat, even though he is 40 years old and has won everything with his club and national team throughout his career. In short, his competitive spirit is definitely “frightening.”
That said, the team that let Stefano Pioli go from the bench will try in every way—unlike what has happened in previous years—to remain in contention for the championship until the end of the season. And to remain in contention in the Asian Champions League as well. The debut is anything but complicated; in fact, the victory against Al Taawon cannot be questioned in the slightest, despite the fact that, mentally, the defeat in the final has certainly left its mark.
Al Nassr also has a clear desire to end Al-Taawon’s streak of positive results, as the latter has always managed to take home points in the last three encounters. In short, they are a nemesis that must be put back in its place.

The prediction
The match should also produce at least one goal per team, resulting in at least three goals in total and an away win for Al Nassr, of course. In short, it all seems pretty much written in the stars.
