 Persepolis is the reigning Iranian Champion. This team is having good results in the domestic tournament, but appears small when placed next to Al Nassr.

 The reigning runner-up of the Saudi Arabia National Championship showed destructive form with 5 consecutive victories with a large difference in score. Facing an opponent that is underrated in every aspect like Persepolis, it is not surprising that Ronaldo and his teammates are determined to win 3 points.
