Jorge Jesus is confident in the triumph of Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix's team - which has been in tremendous form - in the Al Ittihad – Al Nassr match. In the preview of the match, the former Benfica coach urged the duo of Portuguese internationals to secure the three points in a game that is one of the classics of Saudi Arabia.

“It will be the 14th time I face Al Ittihad. The record is in my favor [11W, 1D, and 1L]. It will be a good game in a stadium that always has a great atmosphere. We are confident and want to return to Riyadh with the 3 points,” Jorge Jesus stated in the preview of the fourth-round match.

“Is it a more important game than the others? It draws more attention from the media, but it only counts for 3 points,” concluded Jorge Jesus, reminding that despite being a big game, it holds the same importance for Al Nassr as any other match in the Saudi Championship.

Al Nassr's trip to Al Ittihad's ground is scheduled for this Friday at 19:00, as part of the fourth round of the National Championship. In the first three rounds, Jorge Jesus's team, along with Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix, accumulated nine points.

Jorge Jesus's team has the best attack (12 goals) and defense in the competition (1 goal), having a tremendous start to the season.
