Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus of Saudi club Al-Nassr is preparing to face Al-Ittihad in the semi-finals of the Super Cup in Hong Kong, armed with an impressive record against the blue team, having not lost in 11 previous encounters.

Jesus has managed to win 10 matches and draw one, which gives him great confidence ahead of tomorrow's match, after being signed by Al-Nassr for one season to replace Italian Stefano Pioli.

Al-Nassr is preparing to face the winner of the match between Al-Ahli and Al-Qadisiyah in the Super Cup final scheduled for August 23, while Jesus seeks to impose his tactical style in the tournament.

The midfield position is of particular interest to the Portuguese coach, as he is weighing between Abdullah Al-Khaibari and Ali Al-Hassan to determine the starting lineup against Al-Ittihad, while relying on new signings Inigo Martinez, Joao Felix, and Kingsley Coman.

The expected lineup for Al-Nassr against Al-Ittihad is: Bento Matheus in goal, defense Nawaf Boshul, Inigo Martinez, Mohamed Simakan, Ayman Yahya, midfield Ali Al-Hassan or Abdullah Al-Khaibari, Marcelo Brozovic, Joao Felix, and attack Kingsley Coman, Sadio Mane, Cristiano Ronaldo.
