Al Nassr vs Inter Miami Preview
The Riyadh Season Cup has already seen fireworks, with Al Hilal edging out MLS side Inter Miami in a 4-3 thriller. A late winner from Malcom tilted the balance, setting the stage for an intense showdown between Al Nassr and Inter Miami. The tournament’s dynamics suggest that the face-off between the two Saudi clubs on February 8 could be a decisive clash, depending on the outcome of this encounter.
Team News
Ronaldo’s absence due to injury comes as a blow to Al Nassr, especially considering his outstanding form, scoring in five consecutive wins leading up to the winter break. Meanwhile, Messi’s Inter Miami enters the game on the back of a less-than-ideal run in the MLS, missing out on the playoffs. Despite a strong starting XI, recent results have not been in their favor.
Possible Playing XI
Al Nassr faces challenges with Sadio Mane’s potential unavailability, while Al Hilal’s Seko Fofana and the Saudi contingent add to the missing players. However, there’s still plenty of quality in both squads. Al Nassr’s lineup features Aymeric Laporte, Alex Telles, Marcelo Brozovic, and the attacking trio of Anderson Talisca, Otavio, and the absent Ronaldo. Inter Miami banks on the Uruguayan connection with Luis Suarez joining Messi, supported by Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.

Al Nassr vs Inter Miami Predictions
With Ronaldo sidelined, Inter Miami sees an opportunity to capitalize on their current winless streak. The recent clash with Al Hilal showcased their attacking prowess, and facing an Al Nassr without their star man could give Messi and company the upper hand. A thrilling and entertaining game awaits, even without the much-anticipated Ronaldo-Messi showdown, promising a spectacle for fans in Saudi Arabia.
