AFC Champions League Elite
The Islamic Republic of Iran side will head into their final League Stage tie on six points and out of the qualification spots, with their fate also no longer in their hands.
The 4-1 defeat to Al Hilal SFC was a body blow for two-time AFC Champions League™ runners-up Persepolis, with the Saudi Arabian side simply too strong on the night.
The Iranian giants, however, can't afford to have another off day as Al Nassr have also been firing on all cylinders and will be tough opponents to overcome.
